Volume 1, Born Lonely and Cold Chapter 15, There is a teacher and a disciple
Looking at the old figure walking slowly not far away, Xu Bing's heart was extremely nervous.
In this old man's body, he didn't feel a trace of crisis, but this didn't mean that the other party didn't know martial arts. This old man was able to come to such a close distance without Xu Bing noticing, if the other party made a move, I am afraid that Xu Bing at this time would already be a cold corpse.
The old man came to Shen Cong's side and said with a little jokingness, "What's the matter, good boy, did my dead old man make you unhappy."
When Shen Cong saw his master, how could he dare to be like before. At this time, he instantly changed his face, and immediately came behind the old man, while pinching his shoulder, he said, "Where did the master say, the disciple has always respected the master the most, you are the most powerful immortal in the world, how can anyone compare to you, even the sun and moon in the sky can't hide your great glorious image." You have always kept in mind your earnest teachings to the disciples, and you dare not forget the slightest thing."
It seemed that seeing a slight smile on the old man's face, Shen Cong knew that his words had an effect, so he bragged even harder.
The cultivation of the master is unmatched in this world, of course, these are only external things, if the most dazzling master, or your person, this is the real inner beauty. Even if you see a stray cat and puppy on the side of the road, you will be lost for a long time, even if it is just a leaf falling, the master will be saddened by this, the heart of the master contains the whole world, the love of the master is the real love......
Xu Bing has lived in Fancheng for more than ten years, and he has seen all kinds of people, after all, his status in Fancheng is not low, and there are many flatteries to him. But now seeing Shen Cong's performance in front of his master, listening to the long paragraphs of praise, even with Xu Bing's cognition, he feels incredible.
On the other hand, Shen Cong's master enjoyed Shen Cong's words very much, with a smile constantly overflowing on his face, and sometimes brushed his beard, and nodded at the same time, as if he agreed with Shen Cong's words.
After listening to it for a while, the old man was satisfied, turned around and patted Shen Cong on the shoulder, and said, "Good apprentice, your understanding of the master is quite comprehensive, and it seems that you have not forgotten the teachings of the master, not bad!"
The old man thought for a moment and then spoke again, "But the teacher thinks that the stray little animals should not only feel lost for them, but if they encounter them in the future, they must build a shelter so that they can have a shelter from the wind and rain."
Shen Cong listened carefully to Shizun's words on the side, and at the same time kept nodding his head, and the flattering smile on his face never disappeared.
The two of them talked like this for a while, and then Shen Cong's master restrained his smile, turned to look at Xu Bing on the side and said, "Little doll, why are you chasing me for this futile run when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
When Xu Bing heard this, he was about to speak, but Shen Cong took a step forward, pointed at Xu Bing and said, "Master, someone wants to kill the apprentice, so he sent a reward task, this guy is the killer Xingmang of the Assassin Sect, and he took the task to kill the apprentice."
Who knew that the old man didn't continue to ask Xu Bing, but turned his head and raised his hand to knock on Shen Cong's head, Shen Cong grinned in pain, and asked puzzledly, "Master, the apprentice was almost killed by the killer Xingmang just now, why did you beat me if you didn't help the apprentice take revenge." Shen Cong said as he rubbed his head that was knocked by his master.
"Yo he! blame me. The old man knocked Shen Cong's head again, glared at him and said, "For the teacher to teach you skills, you don't practice well, and now you can't even beat a mortal, you are embarrassed to blame me." That fireball technique is the simplest technique, and it takes you five breaths to condense it, did you give birth to it?" As he was speaking, the old man seemed to feel that he was even more angry with his apprentice, so he simply jumped up and knocked Shen Cong's head again, and this time Shen Cong, who was in pain, directly covered his head and squatted on the ground.
However, the old man did not stop, and continued, "You use five breaths of time for the Condensation Fireball Technique, if you fight with a monk of the same cultivation, this five breaths time is enough for you to die ten times and eight times." As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Bing again, "What kind of killer star or something, he is just a mortal, you were beaten so embarrassed by him." If he hadn't known about your move in advance, you would have died five or six times with his skills in the five breaths you had prepared."
Shen Cong didn't dare to have the slightest confrontation this time, and he couldn't care about the pain on the top of his head, so he hurriedly stood up and admitted his mistake, "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely learn from the master in the future."
When the old man heard this, he glanced at Shen Cong and seemed to be relieved, "This is about the same, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, okay, you can go back first." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Shen Cong.
When Shen Cong heard this, he hurriedly thanked his master and trotted all the way to Fancheng.
Now, Xu Bing also knows that today's task cannot be completed, and even whether his life can be saved is unknown.
From the previous conversation between the two, Xu Bing knew that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person, but a monk, but he didn't know what the other party's cultivation was.
Of course, no matter what the other party's cultivation is, it can also be regarded as an immortal-like existence for himself, and if the other party wants to take his own life, he will definitely have no power to fight back.
After thinking for a while, Xu Bing did not speak, but looked at the old man in front of him, waiting for the other party's words.
The old man looked at Xu Bing for a while, nodded, seemed to be very satisfied with the young man in front of him, and then said, "You doll is good, a mortal can force my apprentice to this step with his own skills, not bad!
As he spoke, the old man walked towards Xu Bing. Xu Bing was inevitably a little nervous when he saw the other party coming, but his face was very calm, and in the eyes of outsiders, there seemed to be no trace of nervousness.
The old man came to Xu Bing, looked at him again for a moment, and said to Xu Bing, "Little doll, take out your hand, old man, I'll take a look."
Xu Bing didn't speak, but raised his right hand as the old man said and put it in front of the other party.
He didn't know what the old man's intentions were, but obviously the other party didn't mean to kill him, otherwise he would have been cold now.
The old man put his eyes on Xu Bing's palm, looked at it for a few breaths, then stretched out his right hand, grasped Xu Bing's hand, and then closed his eyes, silently reciting something in his mouth, as if he was doing it, but Xu Bing did not feel any discomfort.
The two stood for a while, and then the old man opened his eyes, put down Xu Bing's palm, stroked his beard, and muttered, "It's a pity, it's a pity, such a rare Lei Ling Root, if there are more, you can practice, it's a pity!" The old man turned around and walked away slowly, and at the same time, a sentence came again, "Little doll, don't worry about my apprentice's life, otherwise it's not worth losing your life."
Xu Bing looked at the figure of the old man gradually leaving, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and turned around and walked in the direction of Fancheng.
The old man had already walked hundreds of zhang away, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly stopped, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, looked at the direction of Xu Bing's departure, and chased after him.
