The down-and-out Taoist looked at him with a smile and said, "You are so smart, couldn't you guess it?"

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said: "You want to accept me as a disciple? No... before today, maybe you just wanted to accept me as a disciple, but after you find out today that I can tell fortunes, I'm afraid it will be more than just a disciple."

"Sure enough."

The smile on the corner of the downtrodden Taoist's mouth deepened, "Yes, before today, I only saw that you were born with an aura that was difficult to hide, and you must be gifted. You should have some kind of innate magical power, but I don't know what kind of magical power it is. Until today, you

The calculation was so accurate that I realized that your innate magical power is really fortune telling."

He looked at Lin Lan and said, "However, since you have such innate magical powers, why did you still cheat in the past? When did you awaken your innate magical powers?"

Lin Lan suddenly understood and said slowly: "It didn't take long."

Now it seems that the so-called innate aura, extraordinary talents, and so-called innate magical powers probably refer to his ability to 'predict the outcome'.

Although he had not awakened in the past, his innate aura was difficult to hide, so he was discovered by the demon master.

"Put this treasure on." The down-and-out Taoist suddenly waved his sleeves, and an emerald ring floated in front of Lin Lan. "This treasure is the best at masking the aura, and has some ability to protect the body. It should be regarded as my teacher's.

It’s a meeting gift.”

Lin Lan glanced at the ring and said, "I did not agree to become your master."

The down-and-out Taoist said casually: "Become a disciple or die. It's your choice."

Lin Lan's expression did not change, and he still said calmly: "Even if I don't become a disciple, you won't kill me."

"Are you so sure?" The poor Taoist narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "You are too confident in your own calculation ability."

Lin Lan glanced at the corpse in the county government office and said calmly: "If you want to take me away, just one sentence is enough. Why silence me? If it is just to cover up your own whereabouts, you will not do anything for these two months."

If you care, why would you just silence me now?"

He paused for a moment, "There must be other more important things that make you feel that there is no possibility of leaking the secret, and the news that I can tell fortunes cannot be spread."

The down-and-out Taoist was silent for a long time, and then said: "It is difficult for people who are too smart to live long."

"Life or death depends on fate."

Lin Lan said calmly: "However, you are obviously not a weak cultivator, what do you need help from me, a mortal?"

"You have innate magical powers, which is a unique blessing that many practitioners dream of."

The fallen Taoist shook his head and said: "Even if I think I have some cultivation, I can't predict the future. You can certainly help me, but I can't tell you what exactly it is yet."

Lin Lan frowned and said nothing.

"Take this ring, consider it a benefit of your help to me." The down-and-out Taoist said calmly.

Lin Lan didn't say anything. She stretched out her hand to accept the jade ring and put it on her finger. It was warm and tinged with a hint of coldness.

Seeing him accept it, the down-and-out Taoist said: "I know you don't like people like me who kill innocent people indiscriminately, so it's normal that you don't want to worship me as your teacher."

He looked at Lin Lan with a half-smile, "But you should understand that after this matter is over and you are of no use to me, I may still kill you to silence you. But if you worship me as your teacher and tie you to the same boat, you and I

Master and disciple, you are of great use to me, so naturally I will not kill you."

Lin Lan was silent for a moment and said, "Let's wait until this matter is settled."

"Okay, I'll give you some time."

The fallen Taoist waved his sleeves and robes calmly, and a faint gray cloud came out of his sleeves, quickly gathering to form a dense cloud of light gray, covering both Lin Lan and him.

Lin Lan only felt an invisible and flexible force lifting his body up, as if he was not subject to gravity, and his whole body was floating in the clouds as light as a feather.

He looked at the clouds around him. Is this the art of riding clouds?

The corner of the fallen Taoist's mouth slightly raised, and he said: "If you worship me as your teacher, I will teach you the art of flying into the sky without a shadow, how about that?"

Lin Lan was silent for a while and said, "Sounds good."

"Haha, there are more benefits, you will know about it later."

Just hearing the desolate Taoist laugh, the seemingly ethereal gray cloud immediately wrapped around the two of them and flew into the sky. At the same time, the cloud continued to fade, until it was almost completely transparent, and the figures in the cloud also disappeared. Immediately

Flying to the sky.

…

I don't know how long it took.

Perhaps it was because he had been floating in the clouds, in a state of weightlessness all the time, and could not feel the fierce wind outside the clouds. The experience of flying in the clouds and mist was quite good. Lin Lan didn't sleep much from last night to today. He was sleepy and tired.

After only eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he was so hungry that he fell asleep in the clouds.

When he felt a burst of ice flowing through his scalp, when he woke up again, he found that the clouds had fallen in a garden.

When your feet hit the ground, the clouds disappeared without a trace.

Lush flowers and plants can be seen around, almost all of which are marigolds, Sophora japonica and other yellow flowers. There is also a huge ginkgo tree growing beside the wall. It is already golden in this late autumn, and the ground is covered with golden-like flowers.

ginkgo leaves.

Through the garden door not far away, you can see the well-proportioned pavilions, bridges and flowing water, making it look like the mansion of the powerful.

The fallen Taoist glanced at Lin Lan with a smile and said, "I saw that you were sleeping very deeply, so I used some tricks to wake you up."

"What place is this?" Lin Lan asked.

"This is the governor's mansion of your Guannan County. It can be regarded as the residence of one of my disciples." The Luolu Taoist said: "You stay here for the time being, and I will come back to you when I am ready."

"Guannan County Sheriff?"

When Lin Lan heard this, his heart moved, and he said softly: "After my case was reported to the Mingzhou Prefect, the local Guannan County Sheriff should have personally supervised the trial, but the County Sheriff didn't come at all, and just sent an envoy. It seems that

This Guannan County Sheriff is either a member of your demonic path, or just a pawn of yours."

The down-and-out Taoist smiled and said: "My disciple is a little greedy for glory and wealth, so he is just staying in this county governor's mansion."

Lin Lan didn't say anything, but what people in the devil's path call "borrowing" is probably not as simple as borrowing.

"Coming."

The desolate Taoist turned his head and looked at the doorway surrounded by lush flowers and plants.

After a while, I saw a large group of people walking in from behind the door. They were handsome men in colorful clothes, surrounded by a beautiful woman at the head.

The woman was about 20 or 30 years old. She was wearing a long red skirt with long sleeves, a red rosy veil embroidered with golden clouds, a yellow-red gauze shirt, and a red rosy silk ribbon around her waist. She had a charming appearance and a graceful figure.

With a pair of white and clean jade feet bare on her lower body, she ran around in the courtyard filled with golden leaves and yellow flowers. Her bright red dress and silk fabrics fluttered like a leaping lotus flower in the fire.

"Master!"

I saw the gorgeous woman walking quickly, calling with a choked voice, pushing away the two male favors beside me, and then stepped forward and knelt directly in front of the fallen Taoist.

She hugged his legs on the spot and pressed her smooth and clean face tightly against the hem of the Taoist robe that had not been changed for an unknown period of time. Although her clothes and cheeks were stained with mud and dust, she ignored him and her eyes were red.

"Master, you are finally here. Sanniang is almost missing you." The beautiful woman looked up at the fallen Taoist with tears in her eyes and said with a choked sob: "I received your flying letter a few days ago. Sanniang

I have been looking forward to you coming to see my disciple, and now you are finally here."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her face, and she cried so hard.

The male favorites on the side looked at this scene in stunned silence, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Miss me?"

The down-and-out Taoist laughed, and suddenly raised his leg to break away from the beautiful woman. Then he stepped on the face of the beautiful woman with his big mud-covered foot and crushed it. He sneered and said: "You are afraid that I will die outside.

There’s no antidote to the Yin-Moon Talisman, right?”

However, the gorgeous woman did not dislike it at all. Instead, she took the initiative to press her face against the sole of his foot. She held the smelly foot as if it were a precious treasure and said with tears: "Master, my disciple naturally misses you more."

"It seems that he is really my good disciple."

The down-and-out Taoist smiled, put down his feet, reached into his arms and rubbed his armpits, took out a black pill and threw it on the ground in front of the beautiful woman. He smiled slightly sarcastically: "I have been a master for a long time.

It’s ready for you, specially kept for you, and it’s still warm.”

As if seeing a life-saving straw, the gorgeous woman hurriedly picked up the pills on the ground, looked at the layer of black dirt on them, hesitated for a moment, threw them into her mouth, and swallowed them.

Do people in the devil's path have such strong tastes? Lin Lan looked on, feeling a little nauseous and wanting to vomit.

The male favorites were even more stunned on the spot, as if they had been shocked to the point of collapse.

After the beautiful woman took the pill, she stood up, wiped her tears, smiled and said: "Master, are you willing to condescend to see Sanniang? I must treat you well and fulfill my filial piety. Sanniang has already given up."

The luncheon has been prepared, and the master is invited to move to the main hall."

She looked at Lin Lan next to her and asked, "By the way, Master, I wonder who this young man is?"

"This is Lin Lan, Lin Anran, I might be your senior brother from now on." The fallen Taoist said calmly: "You just want to entertain me. If you dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, don't blame me for being ruthless as a teacher."

"Eldest brother?"

The beautiful woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Lan with a smile like a flower, and said sweetly: "I didn't expect that Master would actually have the intention to accept the true disciples, but at first glance, Senior Brother is as informal and otherworldly as Master.

, no wonder I am loved by Master, my name is Yan Sanniang, senior brother, just call me Sanniang."

Informal?

Lin Lan suddenly realized that he had not taken a shower for two months. Naturally, he was as disheveled and ragged as the down-and-out Taoist priest. He looked no better than a beggar.

He said calmly: "I haven't agreed to be his apprentice, and I don't like this dirty and smelly look. Can you prepare some bath water for me?"

Yan Sanniang was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to expect that Lin Lan would dare to speak like this. Her throat moved nervously and she looked at the fallen Taoist cautiously, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

The fallen Taoist said coldly: "Look what I'm going to do? Why don't you prepare bath water? Go and prepare two buckets. Since An Ran doesn't like dirty smell, then I'll wash it too."

Yan Sanniang was stunned again, and then said quickly: "Yes, Master, do you need Sanniang to take care of you to bathe?"

"No need, you despise me, I despise you too." The down-and-out Taoist waved his hand and said: "Lin Lan has not yet practiced cultivation, so you are not allowed to provoke him. I will put away all the tricks you usually use. Do you understand?

?”

"Sanniang knows."

Yan Sanniang nodded obediently, and then said softly: "Master, what are you talking about? It's too late for me to get close to my master. If I can serve you, it will be my honor. How can I dislike you?"
