After a deep groan, the old man regained his expression just now, and asked Shen Ling, "Is it that your own sect has not passed the assessment before you become a miscellaneous disciple?"

Shen Ling shook his head, and said helplessly: "Don't hide it from my predecessors, I entered the sect with the special card of the Great Cloud Sect, and finally was determined to be a miscellaneous servant,"

"Hey, I'm ashamed!" Shen Ling felt a hint of self-irony.

"What??"

"Designated as a miscellaneous disciple??"

The old man was even more incredulous, and then asked: "In this way, everyone in the sect knows that there is such a person as you?"

"It doesn't matter if you know or not, it doesn't matter to me now," Shen Ling said lightly.

"Why?"

"Don't you want to go further in the Great Cloud Sect?" the old man continued.

Shen Ling nodded: "Senior, let me ask you, if a person's heart is dead, will he still keep hope for those who make his heart die?"

This sentence directly froze the old man in place, and he didn't answer for a long time.

"I'm sorry, senior, this is not aimed at anyone, let alone you, senior, it's just that I feel it, and I hope your seniors will forgive me. ”

The old man waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, old man, my heart is calm,"

"It's just that you don't have a piece of material, but you are treated as a miscellaneous servant, which makes me a little unfair for you, it seems that all of this is because of his eyes in the Great Cloud Sect. ”

Without waiting for Shen Ling to reply, the old man said again: "You and I can talk here today, which is also a kind of fate. ”

The old man admires you very much, and feels very fond of my appetite, and wants to accept you as a disciple, I don't know what you think?"

After Shen Ling heard this, he felt that happiness came a little quickly, as if it was a little unreal, and hurriedly asked, "Me?"

"Is what the seniors said true??"

The old man smiled and said, "It's just the two of me here, it's not you, who else can there be, do you agree to this reaction?"

"Promise, promise," Shen Ling didn't say a word, and nodded again and again.

"People who can practice in seclusion in this kind of place, thinking with their butts, can know that they are a strong person, and they have taken the initiative to accept themselves as apprentices, so why not do it," Shen Ling was secretly happy, and was a little excited for a while.

Seeing that Shen Ling readily agreed, a smile also flowed on the old man's face: "Since you are willing, then why don't you apprentice?"

As soon as he reminded him, Shen Ling immediately bowed and said, "Disciple Shen Ling greets the master," and when he was about to kneel, he was helped up by the old man.

The old man waved his sleeves, "I, Duan Ishikawa, have never been accustomed to these courtesies, so I am not allowed to ask for these courtesies in front of me, let those sect bullshit etiquettes go away, this is more comfortable." ”

"Men have to go and go, drink when they want, do what they want, and do it to death, that's what I do. ”

Before Shen Ling returned, he said again: "Don't worry, the Great Cloud Sect has made your heart die, but it will never be with me,"

In fact, his heart is like this: "I will pick up your dead heart in the Great Cloud Sect, and let the Great Cloud Sect give you justice." ”

Shen Ling felt a little stunned when he faced the old man's heroic words, and he found that the old man at this time was simply like two people just now.

It used to give people a kind of majesty and was difficult to approach, but now it gives people a kind of free and easy, and there is a hint of cynicism, which makes Shen Ling doubt: "It can't be a person with a dual personality, right?"

But he prefers the latter, because he is also the kind of casual and uninhibited person, no wonder the old man will say that he has a great appetite for him.

However, listening to what he said just now, Shen Ling also knew the name of this mysterious old man, Duan Shichuan.

The old man seemed to think of something, and said, "By the way, what did you say your name just now?"

"I was so excited just now that I forgot about it. ”

Shen Ling was dumbfounded again, and his heart was embarrassed: "Damn, this master seems to be a little unreliable, this is too unrigorous,"

He didn't know if the old man was really excited and forgot, or if he really had a problem with his memory, but he had to admire the five-body throw to the ground in his heart.

"The disciple's name is Shen Ling, this name is easy to remember," Shen Ling said slowly, for fear that he would forget it again.

"Shen Ling,"

"Shen... Ling..."

"Your surname is Shen?"

Duan Shichuan repeated twice, and finally asked as if he was very careful.

At this time, Shen Ling was completely convinced, and regretted in his heart: "I suffered, I worshipped a mentally handicapped master, can this IQ be withdrawn?"

If it weren't for the master-apprentice relationship, Shen Ling really wanted to give the old man a big mouth.

Shen Ling held back and said with a smile: "Yes, the surname is Shen, Master, is there a problem?"

"No, no,"

"This surname is good. ”

Duan Ishikawa broke off the road.

It's just that his expression showed a hint of deep concern, as if with a hint of memory.

Duan Shichuan's heart flashed: "The talent is so high, and it is a true martial soul? and its surname is Shen?"

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

He asked himself a series of questions in his heart, but he finally denied it: "Impossible, it has been rumored for a long time, how big is the Ziqing Continent, how can it fall in my Kanzhou, hey, I just said that I thought too much." ”

"Master, what are you muttering?" Seeing that the corners of Duan Shichuan's mouth kept twitching, Shen Ling asked puzzled.

Duan Shichuan came back to his senses, looked at Shen Ling, and said with a serious face: "Today you become my apprentice, don't mention it to others, let alone mention the name of your teacher to others, you know?"

Shen Ling nodded: "Master, don't worry, the disciple will not mention a word to others." ”

Duan Shichuan nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Also, from today onwards, you will no longer set foot in this place." ”

"The teacher will give you guidance where you practice,"

As he spoke, he handed Shen Ling an elliptical object and said, "This is a piece of jade, as long as this stone is infused with a trace of aura, I will sense it." ”

"But, it's okay, don't mess around, I'm busy, I know

Is it?"

Shen Ling took the jade and put it away, and said, "The disciple wrote it down," in fact, Shen Ling was thinking about his sentence: "Don't mess with it, I'm very busy," for this sentence, he Shen Ling didn't believe it.

Seeing that everything was explained, Duan Shichuan made a move, and a wine gourd instantly floated to his hand, and he took a sip of it.

Then he threw the gourd at Shen Ling: "Take a bite." ”

"Okay," after taking the gourd, Shen Ling suddenly felt a tingling in his arm, and the force of this simple throw made him Shen Ling barely catch it, and he had to sigh, the old man's cultivation.

After taking the gourd, Shen Ling also took a big sip, but this mouthful made Shen Ling feel that it was so strong, as if his internal organs were burning.

Shen Ling threw the gourd at Duan Shichuan again, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good wine!"

Duan Shichuan laughed, his laughter was so debauched, and then he said to Shen Ling: "Okay, this apprenticeship wine has also been drunk, you should also withdraw." ”

"Remember what the master said to you, no, it's every word," he said, taking another big sip, throwing the gourd of wine into the secret passage just now, and then his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the secret passage, and the place fell into the silence just now.

Shen Ling just bowed deeply to the secret passage, turned around and left.

According to the route before coming, Shen Ling returned much faster, but along the way, Shen Ling was thinking about the true identity of this section of Ishikawa.

Why did this hidden master appear in this mysterious secret realm, and what is hidden in this mysterious secret realm, this series of questions are waiting for him to solve.

And after Shen Ling's observation along the way, he found that this secret realm was far more than what he saw in front of him, and he guessed in his heart that he might not even have reached the entrance of this secret realm, and that entrance was in a secret passage where the Ishikawa was located.

Shen Ling could feel that there was a huge secret hidden behind that secret passage, and Xie definitely had a close relationship with the Great Cloud Sect, and even had a great relationship with this Duan Ishikawa and the Great Cloud Sect.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Ling had already arrived at the exit, and then he realized that it was already dark.

Afraid that Qingni and his mother-in-law would be worried, Shen Ling didn't think much about it, and flew down the cliff with a dodge, and then ran all the way towards the residence.

It's just that when he walked out of this back mountain, three cuckoo calls sounded, which made him slow down, Shen Ling frowned, feeling strange, how could he not hear it on weekdays, and it was only three times.

The key three cuckoo calls occurred in two places at the same time, and two in one place and one in the other, which was obviously a code signal docking.

After thinking for a while, Shen Ling's eyes flickered, and he looked towards a certain place in the back mountain, but at this glance, he found nothing, but the entire back mountain was surprisingly quiet.

The quieter it is, the more abnormal it proves to be, Shen Ling found that there were ambushes around here regularly, or someone was following him, and said in his heart: "Tomorrow, we must find out what is going on and wring out the people lurking in the shadows."

He didn't stay long, and Shen Ling turned to leave.

...

In the shadows of the mountain, several figures flickered, and among them was a young man.

One of them said to the young man, "Brother Xie, did Shen Ling find us?" ”

The young man surnamed Xie snorted: "I found out, I, Xie Xiao, am not afraid of him, but he is just a miscellaneous disciple with a four-fold body, so I don't have to be afraid." ”

Another man said again: "But it's useless to monitor Shen Ling every day like this, just get rid of him directly in the back mountain." ”

Xie Xiao said ruthlessly: "Do you think I don't want to kill him? If it weren't for the fact that there was a terrifying person by his side, Lao Tzu would have done it a long time ago." ”

"I heard that the woman in gray next to him is a strong man who can kill the realm," another man also said.

"It's true that I just heard that otherwise the Great Elder wouldn't have told Brother Yan to pay attention, so from today onwards, without waiting for permission from the Miscellaneous Servants Department, I can only send out signals to ask every day for the time being, so as not to startle the snake," Xie Xiao said.

"It's as if this Shen Ling has already begun to notice," the other man said.

Xie Xiao replied lightly: "Retreat tomorrow, stop contact for the time being, and you just wait here," just listen to my orders."

Several people nodded to Xie Xiao, and finally dodged one by one under the leadership of Xie Xiao and disappeared into the night.

After a few people left, two figures swept down the air, and both of them were beautiful women, but one looked very cold, but unfortunately they couldn't see their beautiful faces in the night, and they could only vaguely feel the soft lines.

One of them, the cold woman, said to the other woman in black, "It's really them." ”

Woman in Black: "That's not surprising. ”

"It seems that in the next few days, they are going to start working, this is a careful planning,"

In the end, he said coldly: "Lin Zhi, you have been secretly protecting you for the past few days, and you can directly show up to help if necessary." ”

"Lin Zhi, got it," Lin Zhi nodded in response.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Lin Zhi again.

"I still have important business, I have to go back to the church, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days, so it seems that only you can help him. ”

"Remember, you just need to save his life, don't care about anything else, even if she is framed and oppressed by the Great Cloud Sect in every way, don't interfere. ”

Lin Zhi was unsure and asked urgently: "Why?"

"Because someone will make a move," the woman in black said slowly.

"Lin Zhi, I still don't understand, why do you want Shen Ling to go... ”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman in black: "Do you feel sorry for him?"

"Neither," Lin Zhi said slowly.

The woman in black chuckled, then said calmly, "The more he suffers something, the more he will bring out others." ”

"Don't you understand?"

Lin Zhi's body trembled, and he didn't make a sound, but his heart was complicated.

Seeing that Lin Zhi was silent, the woman in black said softly: "Okay, remember what I said, you just need to implement it." ”

As she spoke, her figure flashed, and there was no one for a long time, but a cold smile came: "I will try my best to rush back and continue to play that Qu Zhen'er." ”

The voice drifted faintly, and then faded away.

Lin Zhi looked at a certain place in the sky, took a deep breath, and then also dodged away.

The darkness is still as quiet, as if it is more terrifying than before.
