I thought for a while and then said: "Grandpa Shangguan, if you help me, I will definitely respect you. I can also be filial to you as long as you need it. Forget about the formalities."
"Joining us is not just a formality, I also want to help you build a foundation."
Seeing Grandpa Shangguan's serious look made me feel a little confused, wondering what Grandpa Shangguan was going to do!
Not only me, but even Keiko was a little confused. She asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, what are you doing? Zhang Xiao doesn't want to be your apprentice. Don't you see that?"
Grandpa Shangguan looked at me and said, "Are you not willing? I think you should be willing. After all, I have helped you so much, so you should treat it as a favor for me. I must accept a disciple."
I said somewhat speechlessly: "Grandpa Shangguan, what's wrong with you? Is it possible that my unique bones are a good material for martial arts training?"
"I'm just going to ask you one thing, do you want to do it or not?"
Grandpa Shangguan seemed a little angry, and I was not the kind of person who sold myself out without knowing anything. Then he said: "Grandpa Shangguan, if you don't make it clear to me, I really can't get on your pirate ship in a daze!
"
Grandpa Shangguan pointed at me and shouted: "There are not only one thousand but also eight hundred people who want to be my disciples, Shangguan Ce. They all want to be my Chen family's disciples. Why are you so ignorant? Let me tell you, if you
If you become my disciple, all my property will be yours. The rule of our Shangguan family is that if there is a son, it will be passed on to the son, but if there is no son, the disciple will be passed down. Do you understand that I need to find an heir?"
When Keiko heard this, she said loudly: "Grandpa, don't you favor sons over daughters? What happened to my daughter? I can do everything a man can do."
Grandpa Shangguan said disdainfully: "If it weren't for Zhang Xiao this time, the territory would have been robbed. Besides crying, what else would you do? It's just some cleverness."
"I also captured a spy and locked him in a dungeon."
Grandpa Shangguan snorted coldly and said: "It's just a little gangster. I think it's better to let him go after asking the whole story. Do you really want to kill him? Let's not talk about this matter now. I want to talk about another thing.
, that’s the matter of Zhang Xiao becoming my apprentice, you must agree today, if you don’t agree, I won’t be able to avenge this revenge!”
I smiled and said: "Grandpa Shangguan, you are going to avenge you. Even if I am not your disciple, I will still avenge you!"
"This is different. You don't understand it at all. You agree to be my apprentice first, and then I will tell you everything."
Although I don’t quite understand what kind of medicine Grandpa Shangguan sells in his gourd, I feel that Grandpa Shangguan has no ill intentions.
After struggling a little, I nodded and said, "Okay, then I will reluctantly agree to it!"
Keiko glared at me and said, "Bah! Please explain clearly to me what it means to make things difficult. You must make it clear and apologize today!"
Grandpa Shangguan interrupted Huizi and said: "Okay, if you want to achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters. Zhang Xiao and I will go hold a ceremony and I will help you build the foundation!"
The ceremony was nothing more than the ancestors of Shangguan's family. They talked about the family rules. After that, Grandpa Shangguan made a set of rules and drew them on my body. Finally, he took out a bottle from the cabinet on the side and opened it.
Pour out a pill from it.
Grandpa Shangguan handed it to me and said: "Swallow this elixir. After swallowing it, it will turn into a burst of energy. It may feel a little uncomfortable, but as long as you persist through it, you will be fine. You have entered the door."
I looked at this thing and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
"This elixir has become extinct. It is left by our ancestors. This is the last one."
At this point, Grandpa Shangguan sighed and said, "No one will be able to build a foundation by taking pills in the future."
Grandpa Shangguan sighed and shook his head, feeling very sorry.
I took the elixir, stuffed it directly into my mouth, stretched my neck and swallowed it.
Strangely enough, after I swallowed the elixir, before I could feel anything, I heard the crows outside croaking on the trees, and then I heard a crackling sound outside.
I ran out and saw that these crows were banging their heads on the glass of the window with all their strength. Their heads were bruised and bleeding, and they were dead on the ground.
When all the crows stopped moving, I opened the door and went out. I saw a knocked-out crow at the door. It was walking staggeringly, like a drunkard. I squatted down and reached out to catch it, but as soon as my hand hit it,
When they encountered it, the crow actually kicked off its legs and died.
Grandpa Shangguan saw this scene and said: "It's not good for this wild bird to enter the house. It seems you should be more careful. Zhang Xiao, you can also learn some spells now. Let Huizi tell you the most basic ones first. I'm a little bit
If you’re tired, go take a nap first.”
After I said yes, Keiko started to tell me the most basic things about Feng Shui. After she finished speaking, she asked me if I understood. How could I possibly understand? She just nodded indifferently. She asked me to say it again, which was strange.
I actually memorized it all and told her it word for word, but to be honest, this was the legendary rote memorization and I couldn't understand it at all.
I was not very willing to listen, but Keiko seemed to be addicted to talking and kept telling me until dark. Finally, I said impatiently: "You have been talking for so long, is there any way to help me get rid of this female ghost?"
?”
Keizi immediately rolled his eyes at me and said: "Zhang Xiao, don't you think you are an idiot? Grandpa can't do anything. What can I do? I have tolerated you for a long time. You are simply absent-minded. If you don't want to learn, I
I don’t want to teach you anymore.”
She got up and left. I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was looking for Xuan Bei. After asking, she let him go. I thought about it and thought I would come too.
Now Xuan Bei wants to be as honest as possible. He immediately knelt on the ground when he saw us entering. However, this kid is still a bit interesting. When he saw us, he shouted: "I knelt down for you. I
Wrong, I was really wrong."
At this time, this kid was already skinny and skinny, and he looked like he weighed at most seventy pounds.
I smiled and said, "Let's talk about it. I'm satisfied with what you said. Maybe I'll give you something to eat and let you go."
Xuan Bei began to say, but he didn't know much. His real name was Wang Decai, and he was also a disciple of Zhao Qi. He came here to kill me, and he also found out that there were other organizations that wanted to attack me.
However, Li Tianhao was not willing to let me die in other hands, so he sent him here. It cannot be said that these messages are useless, but most of them have guessed it.
