Fairy cage

There were many thoughts in Yu Lie's mind, which was very messy.

"Could this guy be the master of Blackwater Temple?"

As soon as this idea came up, Yu Lie instantly felt like something exploded in his head.

In an instant, everything related to him and the old beggar in front of him was tumbling in his mind. Things that I didn't pay much attention to in the past have now become obvious, even obvious.

Especially suddenly, Yu Lie recalled what the landlady next door had said to him inadvertently: "Even if you, the host, come, you still have to pay first!"

Yu Lie was stunned, really feeling unbelievable.

His whistleblower hugged his thigh, was he hugging the real master? !

But immediately, an indescribable surprise arose in Yu Lie's heart, and he almost jumped up on the spot!

"The Master of Blackwater Temple is the only seventh-grade Taoist priest in Blackwater Town. If I can establish a relationship with him and even accept me as a disciple, doesn't that mean that I can walk around in Blackwater Town? And Before being promoted to a seventh-grade Taoist official, I will have no worries about food and clothing from now on!"

Yu Lie stared at the old beggar with bright eyes, thinking with joy and regret in his heart:

"I should have, should have thought of this."

He was regretting that when he hugged his thigh before, he didn't try his best to please the other party. But it seems that it is not too late now, and we can continue to work hard.

Especially now that Yu Lie has brought such important news to the other party!

The only thing that worries Yu Lie is: "Is this guy, the temple master, really going to be seriously injured and on the verge of death, as 'Mei Yan' Dao Tong said?"

If he had just become a master and the other party died without leaving much inheritance, but his enemy left a lot, then he would have suffered a big loss.

next moment.

On the old beggar's side, the other party had taken out the "brain-eating worm" from the brain of "Mei Yan" Taoist boy, pinched the worm that came out, and put it into his ear.

The "Mei Yan" Taoist boy on the ground stopped twitching, while the old beggar closed his eyes and began to ponder.

After frowning for a few times, the old beggar opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the old beggar saw Yu Lie standing steadily in front of him. Yu Lie's eyes flickered, which immediately made the old beggar a little suspicious.

So the other party flicked his nails and groaned:

"You're a good boy. You really didn't deceive me. And it seems that your alchemy skills have improved a lot recently. It seems that you have some talent. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to make such weird medicines."

Yu Lie woke up with a start.

He kept his composure and said, flattering the other party: "I am ashamed of myself. Thanks to the Taoist Master's guidance, without the help of Huohou Chong, this junior would never have been able to get started so quickly."

The old beggar waved his hand: "Stop, stop! I only sell good ones to see if you are willing to spend money, so you can get the goods you want. Now you have made a contribution to the town. Tell me, what specific ideas do you have?" What benefits do you want?"

The other party teased: "Come on, don't go around in circles like last time, making it look like there was a fire in the cell."

Yu Lie looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this.

But he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, gritted his teeth, bowed his head, and said: "I am stupid, I hope to be able to worship the Taoist Master as my teacher, serve tea and water, and serve the Taoist Master."

The old beggar, who was smiling strangely, was shocked when he saw Yu Lie's actions. His fingers that were pulling his beard trembled, and he almost pulled out a few hairs.

Before Yu Lie's body fell to the ground, the old beggar got up and hid aside.

The old beggar was blowing his beard and staring at Yu Lie who was so good at seizing opportunities. He suddenly felt a toothache and cursed:

"You have a really big appetite. If you give me a chance, you'd dare to take away my entire net worth."

When Yu Lie saw that the other party was avoiding him, his heart skipped a beat, feeling that he might be losing this great opportunity to become his disciple.

But he kept his composure and did not show too much shamelessness. He just said in a familiar manner: "Taoist Priest, we are really destined to have a disciple like me!"

Yu Lie bowed, kept up his efforts, and recommended himself:

"This junior was born in a poor family with an innocent family background. He entered Taoism in Blackwater Town and has a good foundation. He is not yet eighteen years old this year, and he is already a high-ranking Taoist boy. He has a solid foundation and is of the best blood... There is only one bright difference. Master, save me!"

As he spoke, he bit off his fingertips to reveal his high-quality bones and blood, as if he was swearing to God and showing his loyalty.

After listening to Yu Lie's first few words, the old beggar showed hesitation on his face and his eyes began to flash.

But when he saw Yu Lie's appearance behind him, he waved his hand quickly: "That's enough, that's enough. When I was young, I wasn't as good at hitting snakes and following them with sticks as you were."

Hearing this, Yu Lie's eyes dimmed and he looked at the old beggar with a disappointed expression.

Seeing Yu Lie's appearance, the old beggar immediately hoarse and grinned, showing that his teeth were about to be sore, but he couldn't say anything more.

The old beggar glanced at Yu Lie secretly, and he didn't know whether he had a similar aversion to Yu Lie or was moved by Yu Lie's words. Somehow, he put his hand into his sleeve and pinched out a piece of leather.

The piece of leather was torn, yellow and black, like a patch the other party had torn off from his underwear, or a piece of dead skin torn off the body, but it was extra large, as big as a palm and a half.

The old beggar held the piece of paper and looked at Yu Lie, in a state of hesitation.

Yu Lie also noticed the other party's movements, and he felt happy again in his heart, but his face tightened, and he just bowed his hands and did not make any more extreme or playful moves.

At this time, he only needed and could only remain respectful and quiet.

After a long time, there was finally a sigh.

A piece of stuff was thrown out of the old beggar's hand and landed on Yu Lie's bowing hand. Yu Lie's heart beat loudly and he was filled with surprise. He bowed to him once again.

But the old beggar’s voice rang again in time:

"There is no need to become a disciple. Since you entered Taoism in Blackwater Town, as... well, a lonely old guy, although he has never had an apprentice, he should be qualified to be your teacher."

The surprise in Yu Lie's heart was instantly reduced by more than half.

The meanings of "teacher" and "master" are different in the world of mountains and seas.

In the former, anyone who preaches and teaches can be called a teacher, and those who are elders and masters can also be called teachers. It is said that in ancient times, a sage asked another sage for advice, leaving behind the legend of "asking Laozi", hence the name.

As for the latter, master is like master and master.

This is a true biological relationship, one that can provide for one's retirement, has inheritance rights, and can even be listed among them when the whole family is executed.

Yu Lie sighed in his heart.

The old beggar refused to accept him as his apprentice.

Although disappointed, Yu Lie immediately recovered his mood and shouted respectfully:

"Student Yu Lie has met the teacher!"

The old beggar looked at Yu Lie's respectful and calm appearance, his eyes showed satisfaction, and he said:

"Yes, only those who can take it up and put it down are qualified to be my students!"

Suddenly, Yu Lie heard the other party say again:

"If you can refine your natal blood weapon at the Taoist stage, I won't be able to accept you as my disciple..."

Yu Lie quickly looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and his heart moved: "Born blood weapon?"
