An old man in tattered clothes appeared from the darkness. At first, no one recognized him because of his ragged clothes. Then he said, "I am a Taoist priest who has just come down from the mountain and got a little lost. I saw a fire here and would like to borrow some fire to rest for the night. Is that alright?"

When everyone looked closely, his eyes were like a deep pool, profound and mysterious, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Everyone felt that this person was definitely not simple. The leader of the bodyguards, Wang Bo, asked, "Old man, are you alone?"

The old man nodded. "Yes, it's just me."

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go and consult with our employer. After all, we're just bodyguards hired by the employer; we can't make decisions on our own."

The old man nodded and said, "Young man, I won't make things difficult for you. Go and ask. I can wait here."

In fact, this old man in tattered clothes is none other than Mo Yu, the national teacher of Lin Yue Kingdom. His appearance here is a matter of chance, but he has a feeling that he will meet his first disciple here.

And this apprentice must be personally recognized by him; this was an opportunity that he had calculated some time ago.

At the time, I don't know why, but I suddenly had the idea to cast a divination for myself. The divination showed that I would have six disciples in my life.

He had to personally travel over mountains and rivers, overcoming numerous dangers, to meet his first disciple.

He looked down at his tattered clothes, his Taoist robe torn by tree branches, and was speechless. He had lived his whole life and this was the first time he had ever been so disheveled, all because of his eldest disciple.

Only he himself knows how much effort and hardship he put in for his eldest apprentice.

Judging from this situation, his apprentice is no ordinary person; he must be a favorite of heaven, and it must be divine guidance that he is fortunate enough to become his master.

Wang Bo first arrived at Lin Zeyang's carriage. Cheng Ying already knew when he arrived, and she immediately told Lin Zeyang what had happened outside.

Because she was staying overnight, she installed cameras on both the robot guards and the mechanical bull, and everything they saw was fed back to her personal computer!

In case of any situation, her personal computer will sound an alarm: "Master, master, something has been discovered outside. Someone is approaching the carriage. Please take protective measures as soon as possible."

Cheng Ying immediately took the image to look at, and only when she saw Wang Biaotou did she feel relieved.

His arrival at this time must mean something has happened outside. She immediately turned on the camera and looked into the distance!

When she couldn't see clearly, she gave the robot guard a command to move forward a short distance.

Only then did they realize that it was a disheveled, filthy old man dressed in tattered clothes. Lin Zeyang, who was standing next to him, heard the shouts and got out of the carriage to see what was going on.

After Lin Zeyang found out what was going on, he and several classmates who had also just gotten up went to see the outsider.

The group approached and, by the firelight, looked at the old man. Xu Jinnian asked, "Old man, how did you get here? This place is so desolate, where did you come from?"

"I came down from the mountain and got lost. I saw a light here, so I came to take a look. I would like to ask to stay the night."

Hearing him call himself a "poor Taoist priest," Lin Zeyang and his companions knew he was an old Taoist. Lin Zeyang approached the old man, looked him up and down, and said, "Master Taoist, since there are many women in our group, we are afraid of disturbing them. If you are willing to spend the night outside by the fire with these guards..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old man said, "Yes, yes, I'm willing."

Although Lin Zeyang had his doubts, he felt compassion for the old man when he saw his lonely and miserable appearance.

After discussing it with several classmates, they all agreed to let him rest in the camp, since he was an elderly man and they were willing to make things convenient for him.

The old man bowed slightly to express his gratitude and followed him into the camp. Cheng Ying watched closely from inside the car through the camera. The old man seemed to walk around casually, but his eyes were secretly observing the people and things around him. When his gaze swept over Lin Zeyang, a glint flashed in his eyes.

The old Taoist had a feeling that his eldest disciple had some connection with this person, so he became more talkative with the young man.

After entering the tent, everyone gave the old man some food. As he ate, he told everyone some strange and interesting stories, which they listened to with great interest.

Suddenly, the old man looked at Lin Zeyang and said, "Young man, I see that you have extraordinary bones and excellent aptitude. I wonder if you would be interested in learning some skills from me?"

Lin Zeyang was taken aback and before he could answer, Wang Bo, who was standing next to him, hurriedly said, "Old man, don't joke around. Our boss, Lin, is a scholar who is going to Xuan Yue City to take the imperial examination. Of course, he won't go with you."
