Chapter 8 Meeting Ceremony
There are indeed many things and people in this world that Zhang Tie can't understand, such as the Black Iron Fortress, the old man in the bamboo forest who seems to know everything in Lingtian Courtyard, and this man who can walk out of the magma of five or six hundred degrees without hair. The old man who dropped one...
Zhang Tie's character has always been open-minded. Since he couldn't understand it, he didn't understand it. Anyway, at this moment, Zhang Tie felt that he was hugging a thick, thick thigh. This was the thigh that Zhang Tie wanted to hug in his dreams.
"Master, we've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your name?" Zhang Tie asked the strange old man curiously as the two walked in the dark underground cave. I don't even know the name, but I only know the nickname of a demon refiner, that's too inappropriate.
"My surname is Zhao, and my single name is one yuan!" The strange old man said as he walked, and then sighed, "I can't even remember how many years I haven't used this name. Others call me Lian Demon, the name of refining demon has been called for a long time, but no one knows the real name..."
From the old man's sigh, Zhang Tie felt a sense of loneliness and sadness. Looking at the old man's slightly thin figure and messy hair, and thinking about the time when the old man wandered alone on Qianlong Island. Days later, Zhang Tie didn't know why, and his nose suddenly became sour.
Although the two were walking in the dark, Zhang Tie didn't make any sound, but that Zhao Yuan seemed to know what Zhang Tie was feeling, instead he turned his head and looked at Zhang Tie with a slightly gratified gaze, " I have been a teacher all my life, and the scenery is infinite. The so-called power and wealth that everyone pursues is like dung and weeds. When others see me, they are either afraid or flattering. You are the first to see me and feel sorry for me. Ha ha……"
Zhang Tie smiled embarrassingly, and suddenly thought of something, "Master, are you really from the Zhao family in Bailong Town?"
Because Zhang Tie suddenly thought of the fact that his master was once carried from the house to the street by the servants of the Zhao family, so he asked this question. Given the strength and ability shown by the old man now, this matter There is a kind of strangeness.
"My teacher's surname is Zhao, but he is not from the Zhao residence in Bailong Town..." Zhang Tie noticed that when he mentioned the Zhao residence, the old man's shoulders slumped slightly, and there was a deeper tone in his tone. Deep melancholy, "As a teacher, sometimes my mind is a little confused, and I regard other people's homes as my own. My home used to be called Zhao's House, which is in the Eastern Continent, but now my teacher has no home..."
Zhang Tie fell silent. From the old man's tone, he felt that there were many sad things in it. Zhang Tie wanted to ask, but when he looked at the old man's face when he mentioned Zhao Mansion and his own home, it made people feel desolate. Zhang Tie swallowed the question again.
The old man's words also made Zhang Tie realize that the scenes that the old man was with him at the beginning were really not the old man deliberately pretending to test himself, but what he did naturally when he was in a daze at that time, and because of this , he and the old man formed the master-student relationship.
When the old man was in a daze, he felt almost like a lunatic, but once he recovered, he seemed to be able to remember everything that happened to him at once, and he was extremely powerful and moody.
"Master, you...why do you want to accept me as an apprentice? Did you have this idea before?"
"Ha... ha... I just do whatever I want. How could I have to wait until now when I wanted to accept you as an apprentice before? What are mothers-in-law and mothers doing? It doesn't take so much effort to destroy the country and the city!" The old man smiled, and suddenly there was a trembling breath in his body,
"It's just that I just saw that you are quite clever, smart, and kind-hearted. You look a little pleasing to the eye, and you can barely be regarded as a talent to make. In addition, I owe you a little favor when I was in a daze some time ago. I thought to myself It's better to accept you as an apprentice, thinking about it, I accept it..."
"So master, you are not there waiting to save me?" Zhang Tie's eyes widened.
"Waiting to save you?"
"I thought, Master, you also know the divination techniques of the Eastern Continent, and you know that your apprentice is in trouble, so you are waiting there to save your apprentice!" Zhang Tie said with a cheeky smile.
"If I know the divination technique and want to save you, I just need to figure out who wants to harm you, kill him directly, and uproot his organization and family. Why bother to wait for others I will kill you!" The old man gave Zhang Tie a contemptuous look. "When your strength reaches my level one day, you will know that no matter what you do in this world, it is straightforward, simple and most effective. Everything is only about life and death, and there is nothing else. What are those winding things used for? !"
"It's all about life and death?" Zhang Tie was a little shocked by such an answer.
"Life and death are important matters in the world. We have to ask and investigate. The mind is the reason for people's happiness, that is, why you live. Sometimes as long as the mind is happy, life and death can be left behind. When people live and do things, they don't ask their own life and death. What? Are you going to ask those outdated rules and customs or worldly etiquette." The old man said as a matter of course.
"Master, you are so good!" Zhang Tie clapped his hands and laughed, feeling very happy.
"If you want to reach this level, you can't do without strength!" The old man glanced at Zhang Tie, "Otherwise, you fell in love with an emperor's wife and wanted to snatch her to warm your quilt and give birth to a baby, but then You must have the strength to be an enemy of a country and to trample the emperor under your feet. Otherwise, a reckless man will be arrested and beheaded immediately when he shouts in front of the emperor's palace. His life is gone, baby Not born, this is stupid!"
"Master, do you want to say that my strength is weak, so I should work harder in the future?"
"Among the ranks of warriors, although you are only at level seven, you are already outstanding, but in the eyes of real masters, the ranks of warriors are like ants. Although you are a relatively strong ant now, you are more powerful. , the teeth are sharper, but it is always an ant. In the eyes of a real master, if others want to kill you, it is like trampling an ant to death. Just like this time, when someone sent a stronger soldier ant, it almost Get rid of you, a strong ant! If a precarious person like you doesn't work hard, who should work hard." After finishing speaking, the old man gave Zhang Tie a look.
"Master, what is a real master? Is it the existence of knights after the fifteenth level?"
"You also know the rank of knight?"
Zhang Tie scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't know before, I just thought that a fighter of level nine is already very good and can be regarded as a master. Only when I came to Qianlong Island did I realize that there is still a long way to go after level nine." , even after the fifteenth level, there is a new world!"
"Indeed, the so-called masters are relative. In the eyes of ordinary people, a ninth-level fighter can be considered a master, but in the eyes of a ninth-level fighter, both a fighter and a great master can be considered masters. In the eyes of everyone Masters are different, you are right to regard knights as masters, but in my eyes, only those who have mastered the power of Samadhi can be qualified to be called masters!" The old man said proudly.
"Samadhi power?" This mysterious word made Zhang Tie's curiosity boil again, "What kind of power is that? Is it powerful?"
"The power of samadhi is a kind of power that resonates between the origin of man and the origin of the universe. When it reaches the knight level, some people can master this power, but not all knights can master this power. The power of samadhi is the most mysterious and most powerful. The supreme realm, by the way, when it comes to this, you must remember that before you really step into the rank of knight, the news that you are my apprentice must not be spread out!" The old man said solemnly to Zhang Tie.
"Master, why?"
"Because I can't be by your side to protect you at all times, and once the news that you are my apprentice leaks out, within a few days, even if Huaiyuantang wants to protect you, you will definitely die, there is absolutely no possibility of escape..." the old man A pair of bright eyes stared at Zhang Tie without blinking, "If the opponents of the teacher know that they have accepted apprentices for the teacher, they will send you to kill you, but they are not the same characters as the soldiers and ants you met today. Well, at least a level 15 knight who is proficient in the art of assassination!"
A fifteenth-level knight who is proficient in assassination? Zhang Tie's head suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a thunder. Today, he met a tenth-level strong fighter, and he was so exhausted that he almost resorted to the last resort to save his life. If it was a fifteenth-level guy Come on, Zhang Tie knows, he probably doesn't even know how he died.
"Master, who are your opponents?" Zhang Tie swallowed and asked, the old man just said "enemies" really hurt Zhang Tiedan, thinking about it with his knees Just know, can it be an ordinary person who is qualified to be called an opponent by this old man?
"There are too many small characters such as ordinary flies and dogs, and I can't remember..." The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "There are two or three powerful characters, and these two or three people can't do anything to me. Worry about the trouble I will go to them, you don’t need to know who they are now, it will bring you too much pressure and affect your practice and state of mind, you just need to know that once they know the relationship between me and you, I will never let you live!"
Zhang Tie thought for a while, "Master, the fact that I was plotted against today is very important. After returning to the ground, I will definitely explain the details to Qianlongtang and Changfeng Merchant Group. He Changfeng Merchant Group will definitely send people down to investigate, I can't justify that guy's suicide and the explosive power you showed when you killed those minions, what if others ask?"
"It doesn't matter, except for the fact that I accepted you as an apprentice, if others ask you, just tell the truth. I just happened to walk out of the magma, and then I saw that those guys were not pleasing to the eye, so I killed them Already!"
"But in this way, doesn't it implicate you?"
"It's okay, I'm leaving Qianlong Island soon, I have to do something, your level is too low now, you can't practice many of my inheritances, I will come back to you when you reach level nine!" said the old man , took out a rhombus-shaped dark red crystal-like stone from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Tie, "This is a soul crystal with a trace of my vitality in it, as long as you take it with you, no matter how far away, I can Sense your position!"
Zhang Tie carefully put the soul crystal on his body.
"Are you using night vision potion when you go underground?"
"Yes, if you don't use the night vision potion, you can't see clearly underground!" Zhang Tie confessed honestly.
"I have been guarding underground for a few days, and I just got this thing. It seems that everything is God's will. I have always been simple as a teacher, and I never bring any belongings. I got this thing this time, and I will give it to you as a meeting gift!" As the old man said, he took out another silk sac the size of a money bag from his body, and threw it to Zhang Tie casually.
As soon as Zhang Tie took the thing, he felt a coldness in his hand. The material of the silk capsule seemed to be a bit special. It was bulging inside, and he didn't know what it was. "Master, what's inside?"
"It contains a lotus pod of a flaming red lotus that I picked in the ground veins in the past few days..."
Flaming red lotus, it sounds very awesome, Zhang Tie murmured to himself... 』Vote for recommendation, monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
