Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Xitao frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Ling'er, what do you think of me turning Tianchenmen into an organization to rescue the sharks?"

Jiu Ling was stunned, "...what?"

After Xi Tao thought of the method, he couldn't help being a little excited. He took Jiu Ling's hand and said with sparkling eyes, "The sharks can dive into the sea. There are all kinds of treasures in the sea. The sharks can use these treasures in exchange for the protection of Tianchenmen. In this way, Tianchen Sect can have money to continue to operate, and at the same time, it can protect the sharks secretly, so it kills two birds with one stone."

Jiu Ling's heart beat wildly, but he still couldn't help questioning, "Are you trying to use the merman to find the entrance of Hongshan Gate and seize the treasure inside?"

Xi Tao was stunned for a moment. He had read about the Hongshan Gate in the books in the study. The Hongshan Gate is a natural barrier formed by coral. It is said that it is extremely beautiful in the depths of the ocean, and there are countless rare treasures hidden inside it. Yibao, I heard that the things in it can prolong life and make people live forever. It has always been the dream of the human race.

It's a pity that only the Yuren know where the entrance of the Hongshan Gate is. This is a secret that the Yuren have guarded for thousands of years. No matter how much torture they have suffered, they will keep silent to the Hongshan Gate, and will not reveal a word.

Xitao quickly explained: "The mermaids can go in and out of the sea freely, but the human race can't. Besides, even if I find the Hongshan Gate, ordinary people can't open it without the Lord of the Deep Sea."

The Hongshan Gate can only be opened by the blood of the Lord of the Deep Sea, which is why the human race has been unable to obtain the treasure inside the Hongshan Gate.

"It's good that you know." Jiuling snorted lightly, "The Lord of the Deep Sea has disappeared for more than ten years, and no one in the world can open the Hongshan Gate."

Xi Tao silently looked at the future Lord of the Deep Sea in front of him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Ling'er, don't worry, I have no other plans. After the sharks are protected by the Tianchen Sect, they can choose to stay in the Tianchen Sect." , you can also choose to go back to the deep sea, I will not force them to stay, the mermaids will be absolutely free in Tianchen in the future."

Jiuling raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "Since the mermaids are free, I can also freely choose whether to stay or not?"

"Yes, yes..." Xi Tao looked at Jiuling nervously, and tentatively said, "Do you want to go back to the deep sea? The deep sea is actually very dangerous. It's dark inside and there are many large fish. You might as well stay at Tianchenmen Here, let the master protect you, the master will light the lamp for you, and take good care of you."

If Jiu Ling returned to the deep sea, he would have no chance to officially accept Jiu Ling as a disciple, and he couldn't help but worry about Jiu Ling.

In fact, the deep sea is not completely suitable for the life of the sharks. There are many natural enemies of the sharks in the deep sea. If not, the sharks would not choose to go ashore, but they did not expect that the torture encountered on land would be more cruel, and they still have nowhere to escape.

Merman is a person in the sea and a fish on land, and the shark is caught in the middle, as if they are all different types wherever they are.

Jiuling looked at Luo Tianchen for a while, but turned his head away without answering.

Seeing that Jiu Ling didn't want to go back to the sea yet, Xi Tao felt relieved and continued to teach Jiu Ling how to write.

Jiuling finally calmed down and continued to practice calligraphy, without asking any more questions, the opposition outside the room kept coming and going, Xi Tao and Jiuling were reading and writing quietly in the room, and no one was disturbed.

The people outside shouted dryly. Seeing that Xitao had made up her mind and hadn't responded, she gradually calmed down, gradually calmed down outside, and slowly dispersed.

Although they disagree with Luo Tianchen's decision, as long as the Tianchen Sect will not lack their food and clothing, apart from being a little angry, they will not dare to resist Luo Tianchen. They all know in their hearts that since Luo Tianchen They have made up their minds, if they continue to quarrel, they will only irritate Xitao, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It was getting dark, and Xi Tao was a little tired from sitting, so Jiuling was asked to continue practicing calligraphy. He stretched himself and stood up, wanting to go for a walk.

"Ling'er, if you want to write in the future, you can come to this study directly to practice. You can use the pen and ink as you like, and it doesn't matter if I'm not around."

Today he saw Jiuling holding a branch and secretly practicing calligraphy on the ground. Sometimes this child was so sensible that he couldn't help but soften his heart.

Jiuling lowered her head, pursed her lower lip, and gave a soft 'hmm'.

Knowing that he was thin-skinned, Xi Tao didn't say anything, pushed open the door and walked out. He stepped over the threshold and saw Qi Qi sitting on the doorstep, napping with her knees hugged, looking like a small ball.

He couldn't help smiling, walked over and gently tugged Qi Qi's little bun, "Qi Qi, what are you doing here?"

"Master!" Seeing his eyes light up, Qi Qi patted his butt and stood up, "Qi Qi is waiting for you to come out."

Xi Tao knelt down in front of her, and asked angrily, "Qiqi is waiting for me here, what's the matter?"

"Qiqi wants to borrow brother Ling from the sect master."

"What do you want Brother Ling to do?" Xi Tao was a little curious and teased her to talk.

Qiqi wrinkled her small face, and beat her head annoyedly, "Qiqi is stupid, she wanted to bring some water to those uncles who helped repair the house, but Qiqi couldn't carry it, so I want brother Ling to help her. "

Xi Tao smiled, touched Qi Qi's head, then turned to Jiu Ling and said, "Ling'er, Qi Qi asked you to help, you can go quickly."

Jiuling continued to sit and write, finishing the last word with one stroke, and then raised his head and said: "The uncles in Qiqikou who helped with repairs are the same people who bullied the sharks before? Why should I send them water? ?”

Xitao looked at Qiqi's earnest eyes, covered Qiqi's ears and said, "Qiqi doesn't understand these things, so you can help her."

Qiqi doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister. When someone slaps her and gives her a piece of candy, she also thinks that person is a good person. Now that she is young, Xi Tao feels that there is no need to instill such hatred in her. She just keeps her innocence. It's good to be innocent.

Jiuling didn't say yes or no and said, "Let me help Qiqi, but in exchange, don't bother me tomorrow, let alone mention a word about recruiting apprentices."

Xitao hesitated for a while, seeing Qiqi's pitiful expression, she really couldn't bear to refuse.

He nodded and said, "Deal."

Although there are only four days left, but one day less...it shouldn't matter.

Not only was Jiu Ling not happy when he agreed, but she smiled coldly, put down her pen heavily and said, "I said I would never give up, so that's all it is."

Xi Tao: "..." This apprentice is so unreasonable.

Do you want me to bother you, or do you not want me to bother you?

Jiuling stood up and walked in front of him, looking at his hands on top of Qiqi's head with dim eyes, "You've never touched my head like this before."

Xi Tao was stunned, he wanted to touch it before, but Jiuling didn't like his touch, so he didn't touch it again.

He hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and carefully touched Jiu Ling's head, his fingers were stiff.

Jiuling stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned his head away from his hand, and said in a cold voice, "If you don't want to touch it, don't touch it."

He took Qiqi's hand, strode away with a frosty face, and the cold air came out from every opening.

Xitao squatted where she was, withdrew her hand nonchalantly, and watched them go away blankly, always feeling that the apprentice seemed to be angry again.

Qi Qi looked back at Xi Tao, stretched out her small hand and waved, then raised her head and asked, "Brother Ling, didn't you promise to help me a long time ago?"

"Yeah." Jiu Ling replied with a sullen face, expressionless.

Qi Qi blinked, "Brother Ling, are you angry?"

"……No."

Qiqi picked her fingers, and didn't dare to say anything more, she always felt that Brother Ling seemed to be sullen.
