This was not a lie to Ling Fan. Gu Wen could not enter the main formation of Hai Island just now, and there were invisible power fluctuations in the formation.
Ling Fan looked worried, but he didn't ask further questions and turned the topic to Bai Lan's death.
He had already listened to Gu Wen and others' explanation of what happened, and knew that Bai Lan was a core disciple from the Qian Sect. This matter would definitely not end with Bai Lan's death. On the contrary, the uproar had just begun.
For this reason, he had directly sent someone to interrogate Ling Jun, and he refused his family's request to see Ling Jun, and was scolded bloody by his mother.
"The strange thing is that my father and I didn't scold me or get angry. I don't know what they were thinking." Ling Fan touched his head, his face full of confusion.
"Brother Ling, you are a typical scolder!" Gu Wen chuckled.
"Get out of here!" Ling Fan scolded with a smile. Seeing the old Taoist priest holding Xiaobao in his arms, he patted Gu Wen on the shoulder and said, "Where is my son? Go pick up Xiaojun and go directly to the fishing ground. I'll let him go directly to the fishery these days. I have collected a lot of ingredients and invited a chef to come over to prepare for the apprenticeship banquet. It would be better to choose a different date, let’s just do it today.”
Having said this, Ling Fan said respectfully to the old Taoist priest: "Master, although the conditions are a little simple, it is still a disciple's filial piety. Please appreciate it."
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest glanced at Yin Dong and said, "Look, this is the disciple. You must be filial to the master. You brat, you brought the master here to be your son's nanny. Mao Du is here for the apprenticeship banquet." Didn't see one.
Yin Dong understood, coughed dryly, and said: "Master, people who practice Taoism don't talk about so many vulgar etiquette. Since Brother Ling said it, you can just give it a try."
Is there anything wrong with this statement? There is nothing wrong with it!
But even after hearing this, the old Taoist priest and Ling Fan wanted to whip him.
Arriving at the fishing ground, Yin Dong's originally relaxed mood became heavy.
Not only were all the scallop cages shattered, but many of the rocks that were originally exposed to the water have disappeared. Even the decks and sides of the warships moored at the fishing ground showed signs of being struck by heavy objects, and were washed by waves. The remaining water stains and seaweed after that showed that the shock wave that this area of ​​​​the sea received not long ago was as big as mine.
Yin Dong couldn't help but ask: "Master, in the era of disaster, what is the extent of a natural disaster like this?"
Ling Fan and the people around him all looked over and listened carefully.
The old Taoist priest changed Xiaobao, who was already asleep in his arms, into a comfortable position, and then said slowly: "This is just a daily situation. As long as you don't get smashed to death, it's a chance. Before the advent of the disaster era, such a situation The more opportunities you get, the greater the improvement in strength will be. For example, after today, the power of the 49th Return Formation has been greatly improved."
Ling Fan asked a very practical question: "Can Zong Qian forcefully break through the Four-Nine Returning Formation?"
The old Taoist priest's attitude towards this registered disciple became much gentler, at least not like the direct indifference he had before. He replied in a stern voice: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."
Yin Dong patted Ling Fan and said, "Don't ask, Brother Ling. The old liar doesn't want to talk, so asking is useless. Anyway, now that one of the core disciples of Qianzong has been broken, they will definitely come to seek revenge. Let's get ready. Come Killing one by one is considered as military training. Brothers can't just kill sea monsters, they must also learn to fight with monks."
"..."
It was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it at all!
Thinking about it again, Ling Fan felt like a fire was burning in his heart. It was exciting to think about training soldiers with a superior sect in the world of cultivation. Let's do it!
Seeing that this registered disciple did not give up, but was full of fighting spirit, the old Taoist priest was even more satisfied. Even if Ling Fan's qualifications were a little inferior, he was still worthy of training. When the sect reopens the sect in the future, Ling Fan will be more than enough to be an outer sect elder.
.
"From now on, you can also come to Dongzi's house on every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year."
Hearing the old Taoist priest say something coldly to him, he walked forward. Ling Fan didn't react for a moment, so he turned around and asked Yin Dong: "Dongzi, was master talking to me just now?"
"Yes, you've been very successful in flattering me, and the old liar is going to give you a small start." Yin Dong flirted with him desperately, but as expected, he was slapped by the old Taoist priest and flew into the sea.
Yin Dong returned to the deck with a nonchalant expression, ran Long Yuan, and dried his clothes. When he saw the nearby soldiers laughing, he also laughed: "This is the difference in treatment based on whether you can flatter someone or not. If you can flatter me, Master will do it."
If you open a small stove, you won’t be able to shoot it. Just like me, even the most senior disciple can shoot it away casually.”
Ling Fan's laughter and curses came from the direction of the restaurant: "Dongzi, you are still talking nonsense, why don't you come here quickly!"
The old Taoist priest also arrived at the restaurant at this time and met with Mr. Ling and his son, as well as General Zhong, who had come to Hai Island to take charge. The three elders had a good chat with each other. Ling Fan's father was considered a junior and could not get a word in at all.
What surprised Ling Fan the most was that both General Zhong and his own father actually knew the old Taoist priests, and they all respected him as "Taoist Master".
Yin Dong came in and was a little confused when he saw this scene. He asked Ling Fan in a low voice: "Brother Ling, are you right? The old liar knows both your old man and General Zhong?"
The old Taoist priest's ears and eyesight were exaggerated. When he heard Yin Dong's words, he smiled helplessly at Mr. Ling and General Zhong and said: "This scoundrel, the old Taoist, has always been so stubborn that he made you laugh."
General Zhong said: "Taoist Master, you're welcome. This Gray Island base built by our Chinese military can be said to be supported by Yin Dong and Gu Wen. This is also because Taoist Master teaches well, and all his disciples will be able to do so."
"Eager for justice"
After praising Yin Dong and the others, General Zhong gave another tall hat to the old Taoist priest, which made Yin Dong curl up his lips. The old liar taught him how to deceive and deceive, and there was no such thing as being anxious for public good and being righteous.
The old Taoist laughed and said: "I can't speak of being impatient and kind. These scoundrels like the old Taoist just understand the principle of 'the way of heaven has no relatives, and always associate with good people', and do some things within their ability."
The corner of Yin Dong's mouth twitched. Has his master taught him this principle? It seems so. In the previous life, when his master was deceiving and abducting him, he often used Taoist quotes. He should have heard it, and it can be considered that his master taught him.
He reached out and poked Ling Fan and said: "It's your apprenticeship banquet. Hurry up and serve the food. Everyone is talking so much and your mouth is dry. It's time to drink some wine to soothe your throat. If you want good wine, you are always lying...
...Ahem, this is what Master likes."
Ling Fan said excitedly: "I know Master likes this drink, so he has prepared 50-year-old Moutai!"
Soon, the food and wine were served. Mr. Ling personally poured the wine for the old Taoist priest, raised his glass respectfully and said, "Thanks to the Taoist priest for not giving up, I would like to express my gratitude with this glass of water and wine.
Chapter completed!
