My apprentice is not human

Qingping County

As soon as Xiao Qingchen and the two entered Qingping County, they immediately noticed the difference.

It is Shen time ([-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.). When they pass through other counties, although this time is not the busiest time of the day, there are at least a lot of hawkers, pedestrians, and shops on the street. The doors are also open.Not to mention hawkers here, there are very few pedestrians here.They all looked hurried, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.There are very few shops open.

"My lord, there seems to be something strange in this city!" Let alone whether there are ghosts or not, the surrounding atmosphere is very suspicious.

"Well," Hua Yinli said, looking at the passers-by on the street, he said casually, "Find a place to live first, we should stay here for a few days."

Xiao Qingchen responded, and the two continued to move forward. Not long after, they saw an inn.

The two of Xiao Qingchen stood directly in front of the inn, and looked up at the hanging plaque: "My lord, why don't we change the inn! You can see that there is a layer of dust here, and the inside is probably not very clean..." At least he felt that Hua Yinli can't live.

What Hua Yin said was very close to his heart, he glanced at Xiao Qingchen admiringly, and before he could speak, he saw someone walking out of the 'Mingyu Inn'.About 40 years old, slightly fat, with a slightly sad face, dressed in brocade clothes, looks like a shopkeeper in an inn.

The shopkeeper turned into a smile when he saw the two of them, and he said very enthusiastically: "The two of you are going to stay in the store, right? Please come inside!"

"No need," Xiao Qingchen hurriedly refused: "Shopkeeper, look at this—" He looked up at the plaque meaningfully, "Let's change to another one!"

"Heh," Hua Yinli on the side couldn't help laughing out loud, Xiao Qingchen was too naive to say that their family was not good in front of the owner.

Hearing his voice, Xiao Qingchen looked over suspiciously: "Master?" What are you laughing at?

The shopkeeper seemed to have just discovered such a person, turned his head away, and was taken aback: "This——"

This young man is so handsome, why didn't he notice it just now?

Hua Yinli waved his hand: "You guys talk, don't worry about me!" After all, it was for his future apprentice to practice, so he still didn't interfere.What happened three years ago is still vivid in his memory, Hua Yinli only hopes that this experience will allow him, a future apprentice, to see more of the world and learn how to communicate with others.

When he returned to the realm of comprehension, one day he would have to venture alone, and they couldn't stay together forever.

"Hey, this young master," the shopkeeper turned his gaze back again. This young gentleman looks pretty good, compared with the young gentleman just now—by the way, what did that young gentleman look like just now?

He paused for a moment, recalled the previous topic, and then said, "The two gentlemen can't just look at the surface, the inside of our Mingyu Inn is very clean, and the outside is mainly because there is a reason..."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's voice changed: "Why don't you two come in and take a look inside. If you are really dissatisfied, the shop will never force you."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Qingchen didn't feel well and just left. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, wait here, I'll go in and have a look first."

Hua Yinli responded, and Xiao Qingchen followed the shopkeeper and walked in.After only a cup of tea, he came out: "My lord, it's quite clean inside, let's stay here!"

So the two walked out together. There were more than a dozen tables in the hall on the first floor, all of which were wiped clean, and there was not much dust on the floor.

They found a table at random and sat down, and saw the shopkeeper come out from behind with a pot of tea, and said with a smile, "You two. How is it? It's pretty clean inside, right? It's not me, this green tea Only my place in Ping County is the cleanest."

Xiao Qingchen took a sip of the tea first, and felt that the taste was not bad, so he poured Hua Yinli a cup as well.Hearing this, he raised his head: "The shopkeeper just said that the outside is not clean. Is there a reason? I don't know why?"

Speaking of this matter, the shopkeeper hesitated and hesitated, with a little fear in his dark face, and changed the subject in a non-sensical way: "I think the two young masters must be hungry after driving for a day, I'll go and give it to you." Get ready to order something to eat." As he spoke, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Hua Yinli drank the tea in his mouth, looked at his leaving back thoughtfully, Xiao Qingchen saw him: "Young Master, what's the matter? Is there anything strange about that man?"

Hua Yinli shook her head: "It's not surprising that it's strange, I'm afraid the fact that the door was not cleaned has something to do with the rumors of haunting."

"Haunted?" Xiao Qingchen was a little strange.In contrast, Hua Yinli just replied inscrutablely that I will know after tonight, so I didn't say any more.

After Xiao Qingchen had dinner in a hurry (Hua Yinli didn't eat it), the two of them went up to the second floor and found a room at random, and went in to wait quietly.On the way, they found out that there are evil spirits appearing every night in Qingping County, but they don't eat people every night.

After waiting for a long time, Hua Yinli took a jade tube from the storage ring and continued to explain the knowledge of the cultivation world to Xiao Qingchen.Xiao Qingchen seemed to be very interested in these, and he listened very carefully every time he spoke.

After speaking a part, looking at Xiao Qingchen who was listening seriously under the light, Hua Yinli smiled: "When you avenge yourself, I will accept you as my apprentice!"

Who doesn't like obedient, smart, hardworking, and respectful students?What's more, the talent is still so high, the only shortcoming is probably that he is not human.But speaking of it, he still doesn't know what species his apprentice is!

When Xiao Qingchen heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was almost ecstatic. He originally thought that there was no hope of becoming a teacher, but now——

Before he could say anything excitedly, he heard gusts of wind blowing outside the window, as well as the rustling of leaves.Listen carefully, there seems to be a faint sound of bells.

Xiao Qingchen suppressed the joy on his face, opened the window a crack, and looked out cautiously.

Hua Yinli is also quite curious, wondering what is the difference between the ghosts here and the ghost cultivators in the cultivation world?After thinking about it, he couldn't help letting go of his divine sense to look, and then...

Hua Yinli sat up straight, and said solemnly: "I believe you alone are enough for this matter, go!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Yinli trusted him so much, Xiao Qingchen felt warm in his heart, and said, "My lord, don't worry!"

After saying that, he opened the window, picked up the sword Hua Yinli gave him, jumped to the windy street, and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

Hua Yinli didn't seem worried at all, took out a jade tube from the storage ring and looked at it.

Xiao Qingchen walked forward slowly, but felt that the gust of wind was a bit strange.In these three years, he still couldn't absorb the aura, but he could feel more and more aura around him, and sometimes he could even 'see' the aura wandering in the air.

The aura in the gust of wind in front of me seems to have no rhythm at all, there are more places and some places are less.Those winds, large and small, were somewhat indistinguishable, and the sounds they made seemed to be even more disorganized, and even more...weird!

Xiao Qingchen continued to walk along the base of the wall, and suddenly, he saw a vague figure walking slowly towards this side.He turned around and hid in the alley behind him, only showing half of his face carefully watching.

Behind that shadow, a few more figures suddenly appeared, their walking postures looked strange and a bit hideous.Those tiny ringtones were gradually heard more clearly.

As he got closer, Xiao Qingchen saw the appearance of the 'ghost' in the front, with messy hair and terrifyingly large eye sockets, and scarlet blood dripping from his face could be faintly seen between the scattered hair.The mouth is huge, and a long tongue hangs down to the calf.

It's really terrifying.

Xiao Qingchen turned around abruptly, took a few deep breaths, took out a few formation stones from his bosom, held them under his feet with aura, and changed his position rapidly, as if it was just someone's illusion.

Coming to the alley again, Xiao Qingchen stabilized his figure and watched the changes quietly.

I saw the ghost at the front, and the four or five ghosts behind him stepped into Xiao Qingchen's maze step by step, and then ran around in the formation.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingchen was relieved and walked out slowly.He stood beside the formation, feeling a little distressed, did he kill all these 'ghosts'?Or take them back?

Originally, I just wanted to investigate first, but I didn't expect these ghosts to be so weak that they were caught immediately.

Before he could struggle for a long time, a sharp sword light struck behind him, and Xiao Qingchen turned his head abruptly.

He saw a beautiful woman in red stabbing straight at him with a cold sword in her hand.

Although the sword was very fast, Xiao Qingchen felt that he could see its trajectory, and even the place where it could stab himself.Subconsciously, Xiao Qingchen picked up the long sword in his waist and blocked it in front of his chest.

"Crack——" the woman's sword broke, and Xiao Qingchen didn't expect that he would subconsciously say sorry, but he heard the woman shout: "You, you actually broke my sword, I won't Let go of you!"

As she spoke, she took out a brass bell the size of half a palm, and it started to jingle and jingle.

Following the sound, Xiao Qingchen keenly felt that the aura around him began to riot. They seemed unwilling to be controlled by others, but they could do nothing to each other.Finally, a series of wind blades formed and attacked Xiao Qingchen.

Xiao Qingchen turned his head sideways, quickly pinched a few moves with his free left hand, and saw some of the wind blades dissipate in the air.Others returned to stab the woman.

The woman in red turned over a few times, but managed to dodge without hurting her vitals, but her sleeves were cut a few times.She froze for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Window: Why do you two, master and apprentice, always open the window?

Xiao Hua: "Because it saves trouble!"

Xiao (happy): Is this a tacit understanding?

Regarding the appearance of the two of them, both of them are wearing talismans painted by Hua Yinli. As long as you don't look at them deliberately, you won't know their appearance. Even if you see them clearly, you will soon forget them, and you won't feel that something is wrong.
