Chapter Twenty-Eight: Three Days with the Apprentice
Flying over the foot of the mountain, the old man pointed to the cultivators below who were coming and going like ants and said, "These are outer disciples and apprentices!"
Lin Dong's face was calm. "Cultivators always start at the lower level, and they will fly to the top later. ”
In front of the formation at the inner gate, the old man dropped his flying sword, took out a jade slip and said something, and then threw the jade slip into the formation. The two of them just stood there.
Lin Dong glanced up and down at the old man while waiting, as if a light flashed from his eyes.
"Three days?"
After a while, the formation opened a portal, and a teenager about the same grade as Lin Dong walked out of the formation.
"Lin Dong, right?" the young man asked Lin Dong in a muffled voice with a look of annoyance.
"I'm Lin Dong, may I ask who senior brother is?" Lin Dong is actually quite depressed now, this young man is a third-level cultivator.
"You come with me. After confirming Lin Dong's identity, the young man turned around and left.
"Huh?" Lin Dong was the first time he had seen such a boring person, and he felt a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
Lin Dong arched his hand towards the old man, took two steps towards the senior brother, and turned back. After hesitating in his heart, he walked in front of the old man again.
"Thank you for the old man's help this time, don't you go in to see your grandson, old man?" asked Lin Dong Zhengse.
The old man's face was calm, "If you are not an inner disciple, you are not allowed to enter without a message!"
"Can't you be accommodating, can't you let senior brother come out to see you?" Lin Dong asked.
The old man didn't understand what was wrong with Lin Dong, so he still replied: "Cultivators are not burdened by family affection, and grandchildren are dedicated to cultivation, so it's okay if you don't see them!"
The old man's face was still expressionless, and Lin Dong couldn't observe a trace of emotion from the old man's eyes.
Lin Dong's heart was cold, and at this time, the senior brother's voice came, "That Lin Dong, are you going or not?"
Lin Dong didn't even glance at the senior brother, paused, and bowed to the old man.
"The old man is my senior, please accept the boy's salute. ”
Without waiting for the old man to say anything, Lin Dong continued: "Old man, take care of yourself for three days." It's possible to meet your grandson. It's only three days left. ”
Lin Dong sighed, turned around and left with his senior brother.
The old man stood dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly ran towards the formation and shouted, "Little brother, thank you!" After speaking, he jumped on the flying sword and flew into the distance crookedly.
Three days later, the old man passed away peacefully, and finally left a jade slip for his grandson, saying that he owed Lin Dong a favor, and there was nothing else to say.
Lin Dong didn't think about whether there would be trouble. Some things are still done well, and if you don't do it, you won't be Lin Dong.
Along the way, the senior brother didn't say anything else, just said that this is a forbidden place, that is a heavy land, Lin Dong is not allowed to trespass, there are some places where he can enter Lin Dong is not allowed to enter without him, otherwise everyone will protect you and so on.
Lin Dong understands what Senior Brother means, that is, you are worse than me, be careful!
Lin Dong made a note of these places and did not plan to enter them in the future. In addition to having a bad attitude, this senior brother is also responsible for trying his best to lead the way. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, Lin Dong will not fight with him.
This inner gate is like a cultivator slashing horizontally and vertically on the mountainside, and on one side are caves, each with a large circular protective formation in front of it, and the size of the formation in the small courtyard is really at the level of a small courtyard. That's what Senior Brother is referring to.
On the other side is the edge of the formation of the entire sect, and you can see the cultivators under the mountain. There is a clear hierarchy of high and low.
Through the mountain road to this place that looks like the inner gate of the platform, the senior brother took Lin Dong to a cave, Lin Dong thought to himself, "This is the place." ”
The senior brother also threw a jade slip and said, "Wait!" Leaving Lin Dong alone there, he walked towards the cave mansion in the other direction.
Lin Dong opened his mouth, let's wait!
The formation in front of the cave mansion had obviously been opened, and Lin Dong only saw the word evergreen written on the cave mansion.
"Is this a cultivator called Changqing or what?" Lin Dong couldn't guess.
"What is the name of the cave in the future? I have Dong in my name, and my soul has crossed over, so I will call it Dongling!"
At this time, the formation opened, and a young man jumped out and said, "You are Senior Brother Lin? I am Wang Xiaoshan, the alchemy apprentice led by Senior Brother Gu, and I ask Senior Brother Lin to take care of me!" After speaking, he arched his hand and looked up at Lin Dong with a smile on his face.
Lin Dong is the first time that someone has called him senior brother, maybe the senior brother in front of him will call himself senior brother, which is a rare opportunity. I am willing to take care of this brother and sister of the king.
Wang Xiaoshan is reunited, very happy. Lin Dong touched Wang Xiaoshan's head with his hand and took care of it: "If you have something to find me Senior Brother Lin in the future, you will definitely help." ”
Wang Xiaoshan grinned and led Lin Dong into the formation.
As soon as he entered the formation, Lin Dong saw a familiar scene. A medicine garden was presented in front of him, and with Lin Dong's experience in Nanshan Gate, the medicinal gardens planted in this medicine garden were all elixirs that were more cherished or partial in the second and first order.
The Medicine Garden occupied most of the space in the entire formation, leaving only a winding path leading to the entrance of the cave.
"These are the elixirs that we will take care of in the future, and here they are all. Senior Brother Lin, you came just in time, Senior Brother can't be busy when he is alone, and his heart will delay his cultivation. Wang Xiaoshan said unceremoniously to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong smiled, "Then Senior Brother, I will share these elixirs with you equally!, but I don't know if Senior Brother Gu will arrange other things for me?"
"There aren't many things to do as an apprentice, as long as you take care of the elixir and help Senior Brother Gu clean up the elixir. The main thing is to become an alchemist as soon as possible, so that you can help Senior Brother Gu!" After speaking, he also clenched his fist, and his round face tended to be square, which means that Senior Brother Gu was bullied, and he wanted to help, but he couldn't help himself, and he was cheering himself up?
"Wang Xiaoshan, just talk too much. Bring Lin Dong in!" The words fell, and the stone door of the cave opened silently.
"Yes, Senior Brother Gu. ”
Wang Xiaoshan, who finished talking loudly, squeezed his eyes at Lin Dong again. I don't care about the reproach I have in my words.
Lin Dong looked at the cave mansion, which was simple. Nothing but a stone table, several stone benches, and sun-like beads overhead. The traces of knives and axes on the walls are vivid.
The large hall of four small wooden houses, plus several stone gates shrouded in formations along the stone wall.
"I've seen Senior Brother Gu. Lin Dong and Wang Xiaoshan surrendered together. I like Lin Dong the most, and I feel that I have an elegant atmosphere.
"Seven-layer cultivation! About twenty years old! Chinese face, with a heroic spirit. Lin Dong glanced at Senior Brother Gu and thought to himself. Then he began to look at Senior Brother Gu's neckline.
It was not a very appropriate move to look directly at the high-level cultivators, and Lin Dong was unwilling to bow his head like Wang Xiaoshan, looking at the neckline was the best choice that Lin Dong could think of. Don't look reckless and don't let yourself be humble.
Senior Brother Gu has been observing Lin Dong's words and deeds since he entered the formation. "Good heart, not ruthless and only killing. The cultivation of the second layer is a casual cultivator who can still live, and he is not arrogant or humble, and he is a person who has ideas about his own immortal cultivation. ”
After briefly tasting Lin Dong, I am quite satisfied, and the main thing is to see if Lin Dong has talent in alchemy.
"Lin Dong, you were introduced by my grandfather, and I will accept you as an apprentice. ”
