Salted fish master was forced to accept disciples

Xitao didn't dare to think deeply, no wonder Jiuling would turn black, no wonder Yuren would rise up to resist under his leadership, they have been cornered and have nowhere to go, if this continues, Xitao can already imagine how many years Houxi Shuicheng looks like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Before going to bed, Xitao had listened carefully to the things that Jiu Ling would do after being blackened from Yin Chuan Ling. He would arrest all the villains who had hurt the merman, and he would use all means to torture those people Let them die, and then refine that group of people into human oil.

Human oil is almost worthless, but the mermaids are all scrambling to grab the human oil. That night, all the mermaids lit oil lamps made of human oil.

In the night illuminated by human oil lamps, they wept heart-piercingly and yelled loudly. Xishui City was full of mournful cries and wailing everywhere.

How did the human race and the mermaid race, who were supposed to coexist peacefully, come to that end.

The servant looked at Xi Tao's face, scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "Didn't the sect master tell us to do these things?"

Xi Tao couldn't help shivering, and turned her head to look at Jiuling unconsciously. Jiuling was also looking at him with a gloomy expression. The black shadow in the corner of the wall fell on his thin body, like a demon about to show its teeth and claws.

Xitao gently lowered her eyes, the servant is innocent, even many people in Xishui City are innocent, they have been used to not treating mermaids as human beings since they were born, they didn't even think that mermaids have life, and they have nothing to do with them Humans will suffer and be sad, because no one has told them these things, and they have been taught since childhood that mermaids are not human.

The enmity between the Yuren and the human race in Xishui City is deep, and it cannot be resolved overnight, so we can only think of a way in the future.

He glanced at the old man on the ground, and said: "It's safe to go to the ground first."

"...Yes." The servant didn't dare to ask again, and quickly followed his orders.

Qiqi looked at Xitao, tears fell down her eyes, and the tears instantly turned into pearls. She reached out to catch the pearls, holding the small pearls in both hands, and carefully held the pearls in front of Xitao.

She raised her hands and said with tears in her eyes, "Master, I give it to you."

Xi Tao looked at the little pearl she was holding in her palm, and a gleam of hope gradually ignited in her eyes.

Luo Tianchen has received countless pearls turned from tears in his life, but only this pearl was given to him willingly by the Merman. Perhaps, the hatred between the human race and the Merman race is not insoluble.

Qiqi was small, and the dropped pearls were also small. The little pearls looked round and cute, emitting a soft light in Qiqi's hands.

He reached out and took the little pearl and held it in his palm, looked at Qi Qi and smiled and said, "Thank you."

This was the first kindness he had gained in Xishui City.

After Xi Tao gave all the instructions, she turned to look at Jiu Ling.

He walked over step by step, turned his back to everyone, raised Jiuling's palm, and grabbed Jiuling's wrist. Jiuling looked at him stubbornly and angrily, wanting to resist, but he couldn't match his strength. Can be forced to open the palm.

There was a silver needle lying in the palm of Jiuling's hand, and the silver needle shone with a cold light. I don't know if it was because he was holding it too tightly, the silver needle pierced into his palm, and blood was already drawn.

Jiuling and Xitao looked at each other, with resentment shining in their eyes.

Xitao put away the silver needle calmly, and covered it with her sleeve, so that no one else could see it.

He said to Jiuling lightly: "I have something to tell you, come with me."

Everyone couldn't see what they were doing in the corner, they could only hear Xitao's plain orders.

Xi Tao glanced at Jiuling, then turned and left.

Jiu Ling's face was gloomy, he hesitated for a moment, then limped and followed.

The night was as cold as water, and the Tianchen Gate became silent again. Xi Tao sighed silently when she heard the uneven footsteps behind her. Hardly a good place.

Even though a strict teacher produces excellent apprentices, it is difficult for him to be ruthless in the face of such a wounded Jiu Ling.

He stopped, waited for Jiu Ling to come limping over, knelt down and said, "Come up."

Jiu Ling glanced at him blankly, and said hesitantly, "You want to carry me?"

Xi Tao nodded, "Come on."

"..." Jiuling stood there looking at Xitao without moving.

Xi Tao knew that he didn't want Luo Tianchen to carry her, so she thought about it and said temptingly: "Ling'er, don't you want to experience what it's like to let your enemy carry you?"

Jiu Ling pulled the corner of her mouth lightly, "You are quite self-aware."

Xi Tao: "..." Bear child.

After a while, Xitao walked forward carrying the thin little apprentice on her back without any complaints.

Jiu Ling lay on his back, glanced down at his clothes that were stained by Qiqi, and couldn't help curling her lips.

A gust of wind blew, and Jiu Ling's nose moved slightly. When Luo Tianchen bit his neck before, he could often smell the strong smell of rouge from Luo Tianchen's body. It was extremely unpleasant, and he didn't want to smell it. , but it is inevitable.

But this time, Luo Tianchen's body was clean, with only a clear and light fragrance, which smelled comfortable and elegant, not only not unpleasant, but even a little pleasant.

Jiu Ling frowned slightly, Luo Tianchen was uncharacteristically tonight, he felt like a dream, although he expressed contempt for the fact that he thought Luo Tianchen was fragrant, he couldn't help sniffing again.

Xi Tao didn't know that his apprentice was sticking his nose out on his back, sniffing and sniffing like a puppy, and went straight back to Luo Tianchen's room behind his back.

The reason why he brought Jiuling back was because he was worried that if Jiuling continued to stay there, someone would come to trouble him. Xi Tao didn't want his apprentice to be blackened or die in the hands of those people before he had harvested. It's more reassuring to keep people by your side.

Xitao put Jiuling on the soft couch, Jiuling glanced at the silver needle in Xitao's hand, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what the sect master is looking for me for? If it's because of stealing the silver needle, you can send me directly." Go to the Discipline Hall to deal with it."

Xi Tao sat down opposite him, and said softly, "Ling'er, you have been sleeping in my room since today."

In order to prevent the little apprentice from being blackened in advance when he was not around, he decided to put the little apprentice by his side temporarily to take care of him, and when no one dared to bully the little apprentice and the little apprentice was determined to be good again, he would let him go back. live.

Hearing his words, Jiuling's eyes instantly burned with angry flames, and his eye sockets turned red all of a sudden. A frightening chill emanated from his body, he bit his lower lip in humiliation, and looked at Xi Tao angrily, with anger in his eyes churn.

Seeing that the hem of his clothes was dirty, Xi Tao lowered his head and stroked the dirty place. As soon as he stroked it twice, he felt an inexplicable chill coming over his back.

He paused, looked up, Jiu Ling stared at him with red eyes angrily, as if he had done something unforgivable.

Xitao: "???"

Xi Tao, who didn't know why the apprentice was angry again, froze.

Jiu Ling's small body trembled slightly because of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated, just kill me."

Xi Tao: "..." He came to his senses and completely petrified.

The apprentice...could it be because he thought he was sleepy... him?

Wrong for the teacher!

Xitao recovered from the shock, put the silver needle down on the table in embarrassment, and said nicely, "Ling'er, you misunderstood."

Jiu Ling was good-looking and at an age where he was indistinguishable from male and female, there should be quite a few people who coveted him, that's why he was so suspicious.

Jiu Ling still didn't let go of his guard, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xi Tao probingly for a while, Luo Tianchen suddenly changed his attitude towards him, he always felt that something was wrong.

Xitao let him scrutinize her frankly, her gaze was impartial.

Seeing that his eyes were pure, without the slightest evasion, nor any ambiguous expression, Jiu Ling gradually relaxed.

Xi Tao looked at him as sincerely as possible, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, I am devoted to Taoism, and I have never thought of finding a Taoist companion, let alone you are a man and a child, and I have absolutely no prejudice against you." thinking."

For 500 years, he has had no desires or desires, not to mention men, even women, he has never looked at them more, let alone have any unreasonable thoughts.

He felt that he had to explain clearly, and he must not let future apprentices misunderstand.

Jiuling didn't take it seriously, "It's better to be true."

Xitao felt sad, this master is too difficult to do!

But he couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiuling. Jiuling didn't know how much he had suffered at such a young age. He was so outstanding. If he came from a better background, he must be a well-loved young master. He is destined to live a rougher life than others, so he can only be more careful, so he hides the silver needle with him for self-protection.

Jiu Ling noticed that Xi Tao was looking at him with more and more pity, and couldn't help frowning.

He glanced at the silver needle on the table, and said coldly, "Give me back the silver needle."

Hearing this, Xi Tao picked up the silver needle and turned it around. Looking at the sharp tip of the needle, under Jiu Ling's watchful eye, she used her aura, and the silver needle instantly turned into powder.

Jiu Ling's eyes widened all of a sudden, and his face flushed with anger. This silver needle was hidden by him with great pains, and it was the only weapon he could have.

Seeing his ugly face, Xi Tao smiled lightly, patted the powder on her hands and said, "Do you think you can kill Song Zhou with a silver needle?"

Jiu Ling pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew the chance was very small, but he would never know if he hadn't tried it.

Xi Tao watched him silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Ling'er, do you want to practice magic with me?"

Jiuling was taken aback, the people in Tianchenmen usually practice spells except for catching mermen, but they never allow mermen to have the slightest chance to learn spells, because they don't allow mermen to have the ability to resist. This has become the rule of Xishui City, the mermaids are not allowed to practice spells.

Seeing Jiu Ling's hesitant expression, Xi Tao continued to persuade: "If you practice magic, you will be able to protect yourself, and you don't have to rely on silver needles, which have a very low chance of winning."

He silently shed a tear for himself in his heart, he didn't expect that this salty fish would one day not only accept apprentices, but also ask the apprentices to recognize him as a master.

Jiu Ling frowned, still feeling unbelievable, "You said you want to teach me to practice spells?"

Xitao nodded, looked at Jiuling eagerly, and said kindly, "I want to take you as my apprentice."

Jiuling sneered, "If you want to be my master, aren't you afraid that I will be the first to kill you after learning the spell?"

Xitao: "..." This is indeed a possibility, thank you for reminding me.
