Chapter 5 Auction (I)
Lin Ziqi looked at the man in black who was deep in thought, and he could clearly see the sadness and chagrin in his expression.
"Has the master experienced anything? Why did you take me as an apprentice and remember the past? Is it because of me?" Lin Ziqi pondered in his heart puzzled.
"Don't think about it, I can tell you why. "I don't know when, the man in black has returned to his previous cold, lazy state.
"Ah, can you talk about this? I thought I wouldn't tell me the same as before, or after sixteen," Lin Ziqi muttered in disbelief.
"Listen or not, if you don't listen, get out, bring more wine next time" The man in black waved his hand impatiently.
"Hey, hey, listen, of course listen, master, you say, I'll shut up. Lin Ziqi said with a smile, and then sat on the ground and listened to the man in black tell the reason. Seeing this, the man in black thought for a while, and then said: "Five years ago, it was the tenth year of coming here, I was drinking wine in the bamboo forest as always, and I had no money to buy wine after drinking, and I was worried, and then you ran into the bamboo forest, and I scared you into saying that you disturbed me to drink, and asked you to buy me wine, and then you actually listened, I saw that you had a good heart, so I took you as an apprentice." That's it. ”
"Eh, master, I don't have to be perfunctory like this, do you still think I am the ten-year-old child at the time" Lin Ziqi retorted indignantly.
"Hehe, if I don't say it, you will bother me, and you don't believe it when I say it, hey, it's so difficult to be a master" The man in black was rarely playful, and he played a scoundrel to Lin Ziqi.
"Master, you see that I have done my best in the past five years and bought you five years of wine, and you have got a sixteen and then sixteen, isn't it not fair?" "Master, just tell me why you want to take me as an apprentice, I know you must be a master, tell me" The man in black looked very sad when he heard this. Seeing this, Lin Ziqi couldn't bear to say: "Hehe, don't think about it, master, I won't ask, Actually, I'm not so curious, I can wait for you later...."The man in black slowly interrupted Lin Ziqi and said: "You and I are the same person, you have something that I once had but now lost......"
"Let's go, I'm a little tired today. After saying that, he turned over and lay on his side on the stone slab, and stopped talking....
When Lin Ziqi heard this, he left the bamboo forest with puzzlement.
On the bluestone slab, the body of the man in black lying on his side kept twitching, and he kept stroking his heart with his hand, as if something had been lost.......
Lin Ziqi, who left the bamboo forest and returned home, was also in a particularly low mood, probably influenced by the man in black.
"What the hell is it, I have what he lost?" Lin Ziqi, who muttered in his heart, was puzzled when he came out of the bamboo forest. "Maybe it really won't be until sixteen to solve these problems" Lin Ziqi, who was constantly thinking about it in his heart, stayed quietly in the room.
After a while, the servant's voice sounded outside Lin Ziqi's door: "Young master, the master told you to go to the front hall, and a distinguished guest is coming." ”
When Lin Ziqi heard the response, "Okay, I'll come right away", the servant left when he saw this, Lin Ziqi tidied up his clothes, no longer thought about these things that he couldn't think of, and left for the front hall.
Lin Ziqi came to the front hall, there were three people sitting in the hall, namely Lin Xiu, Lin Tian and a person he had never seen before, this person was dressed in a green robe, and there was a trace of majesty between his eyebrows, which was awe-inspiring. Seeing this, Lin Ziqi had already guessed that this person should be Lin Tian's mentor, Zhang Qiu.
"Qi'er, you're here, this is your eldest brother's mentor, come and visit" Lin Xiu saw Lin Ziqi coming, and hurriedly greeted Lin Ziqi.
"Boy Lin Ziqi has seen a mentor" Lin Ziqi responded, and his body was more than ninety years old. Seeing this, Zhang Qiu's expression flashed, and he returned to his original state in an instant, then waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, you are Tian'er's younger brother, I can also count you as half a relative, and the family doesn't have to be polite."
When Lin Xiu heard this, he was overjoyed, he didn't expect Lin Tian to have such a heavy weight in the hearts of a strong man like Zhang Qiu, not only did he not take a penny of remuneration this time, but he also did not have the contempt of the weak as ants.
"You are my eldest brother's mentor, and you can be regarded as a master, it is normal for me to salute you, Master Zhang can afford it" Lin Ziqi didn't feel anything wrong, how people treat me, how I treat people, even if I don't know Zhang Qiu, but Zhang Qiu is Lin Tian's teacher after all, and this time I came for myself, so Lin Ziqi didn't feel anything.
"It's good, it's good, the child has a good heart, and he has a great future" Zhang Qiu was also happy when he heard this, and seemed to be deeply pleased that a young rich son like Lin Ziqi had such an upbringing.
"Xie Zhangshi's praise" Lin Ziqi responded to Zhangqiu's praise with joy or sadness.
"Okay, okay, Ziqi, sit down and listen to Master Zhang's solution to your matter" Seeing this, Lin Xiu interrupted the modesty and praise of the two, beckoned to Lin Ziqi, and motioned for Lin Ziqi to come over. After Lin Ziqi took his seat, Zhang Qiu began to put away his joy, and said with a straight expression: "Lin Xiaozi will not have any unnecessary obstacles to entering the Five Elements Academy, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't handle the enrollment of our Fenglei this year, and the number of students under my hands was already full, I would have accepted Lin Xiaozi into our Fenglei." It just so happens that the admissions tutor of the Five Elements Academy this time is my former classmate, I have already greeted him, and your father has also prepared a generous gift for him, as long as you succeed in fading and going directly to their Five Elements camp and studying from him, he will take advantage of the situation to accept you into the Five Elements. So the top priority is whether you can succeed in the world, boy Lin. By the way, what realm are you in now, boy Lin?
"Master Zhang, I am now just a mortal body sixfold" Lin Ziqi responded when he heard this, because Tianyan could not control the spiritual power at all, and without the fluctuation of spiritual power, others would not be able to detect it.
"Oh, it seems that you have had good luck in recent days, and you have made a breakthrough, but you are still a little worse," Zhang Qiu said with some surprise and regret. "But don't be sad, the auction in your Qingding Town will auction off the Turbidity Pill recently, if you can take a Turbidity Pill, you will definitely be able to reach the ninth level of the mortal body when you fade into the mortal, and the aura in your body should be enough to support you through the fading of the mortal achievement Tianyan, as for what kind of Tianyan power can be generated, it depends on the individual's creation."
"Brother Zhangqiu, if Ziqi is unfortunate and can't get this Turbidity Pill, I will have to trouble you at that time, and pay more attention to this boy who has no good fortune, and if you can wash away a trace of turbidity, you will have a little more possibility of fading into the ordinary. Lin Xiu got up and asked Zhang Qiu.
"Brother Lin, you don't have to be so polite, if you don't go here at that time, don't panic, I will do my best for Lin Xiaozi, you can rest assured, I will stay here these days, and I have to ask you to take care of it" Zhang Qiu helped Lin Xiu up and said kindly.
"That's that, Brother Zhangqiu, you can stay, eat and drink well here, and let me do my best as a landlord. ”
"Teacher, no matter what the result is, I still want to thank you for being willing to help my little brother" Lin Tianxing knelt down and bowed to Zhang Qiu and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I will practice hard and not embarrass you outside." ”
"Okay, okay, you have this heart, and it won't be in vain for me to come here" Zhang Qiu nodded with satisfaction. "By the way, when does the auction start?"
"Back to the teacher, three days later. ”
"Okay, then that's all for today, I'll go back to my room to practice, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go with you in three days."
"Okay, Brother Zhangqiu, I'll take you to the guest room" With that, Lin Xiu and Zhang Qiu left.
"Goodbye, teacher,"
"Goodbye to Zhang's seniors" Lin Ziqi and Lin Tian said goodbye to Zhangqiu.
"Little brother, you don't have to worry, with the teacher's promise, you can succeed without accident, join the Five Elements Academy, and become a true cultivator from now on" Lin Tian seemed to be a little excited, as if he had faded into the mortal.
"Okay, brother, I'm not worried, but I still want to thank you and my father for doing so much for me" Lin Ziqi looked at Lin Tian with a serious face.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, little brother, I'm your eldest brother, of course I'll help you, okay, eldest brother has gone to practice, eldest brother can't pull down the cultivation and embarrass the teacher. ”
"You have a good rest for the past three days, and after three days, you can go to the auction with us to meet the world. ”
"Okay big brother, I'll go. Hearing Lin Ziqi's answer, Lin Tian nodded and turned to leave, leaving Lin Ziqi alone.
Seeing that the three of them had already left, Lin Ziqi shook his shoulders that had been standing up for a long time, and muttered: "Hey, I'm really not used to being serious, it's still comfortable to be a bastard boy who has nothing to do." ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity, the good days are coming to an end" Lin Zi thought shamelessly, paced out of the front hall, and went back to the room to rest.
