According to Mr. Chi, Jun Xiaomo took advantage of Rong Ruihan being trapped by the talisman and unable to move, and quickly poked a drop of blood on his fingertip, and dropped it on the blood jade.
The blood jade suddenly became brighter, emitting a dazzling red light, and then slowly dimmed.
"This means you have already recognized the owner." Chi Lao explained, "The blood jade that has recognized the owner is no longer useful when meeting other people. However, in fact, not many people would think of such blood jade. Because the meridians and Dantian of the Jiang clan are different from ordinary people, it is very easy for them to become possessed by demons during their cultivation, so this kind of blood jade is needed to suppress the demonic energy. Ordinary people do not have such concerns."
Jun Xiaomo nodded, took out a rope from the storage ring, and was about to tie the blood jade, but was stopped by Mr. Chi.
"Use this one of mine." Mr. Chi took out another rope. If you look carefully, you can see that there are fine patterns on it. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing. "This child can be considered my descendant. I watched his mother grow up. When the Jiang clan was exterminated, I was in seclusion, so it was a pity that I couldn't go there and save some people. Even if it's me now A small way to make up for it.”
Make up for the regrets of the past years.
Mr. Chi said and handed the rope to Jun Xiaomo.
Jun Xiaomo nodded. After taking the rope, he carefully threaded it on the blood jade, then made a circle and tied a knot. After making sure that it would not loosen, he stood on tiptoes and hung it for Rong Ruihan. on the neck.
Jun Xiaomo did all this very seriously, as if completing an important task, with his thin lips slightly pursed and his expression focused.
Mr. Chi has been observing Jun Xiaomo from the side and has a better understanding of the child's character.
Alas, she is a simple-minded child, at least she doesn't have any evil thoughts, but her love luck is too strong, right? Does his great-grandson really hope to capture her
It has to be said that if they are not a family and do not enter a family, Chi Lao's thoughts strangely overlap with those of his grandson-in-law Shao Sirong.
After Jun Xiaomo hung the blood jade on Rong Ruihan's body, Rong Ruihan's roar gradually weakened. Mr. Chi also held Rong Ruihan's wrist and conveyed demonic energy to him. This demonic energy was comforting. The power slowly calmed down the demonic energy that was running around in Rong Ruihan's body.
After a moment, Rong Ruihan fainted.
"When he wakes up again, he will regain his senses." Chi Lao said leisurely, turned around and went back... to drink tea.
"Thank you, senior." Jun Xiaomo made a bow for Mr. Chi sincerely.
Mr. Chi waved his hand, raised his eyelids and said, "If I didn't owe his grandfather a meal, I wouldn't bother to save him."
Jun Xiaomo: "..."
Looking at the other four people who looked speechless and helpless, Mr. Chi picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then laughed loudly.
Of course he didn't still remember that meal, but looking at the wonderful expressions on the faces of the juniors was quite entertaining.
About an hour later, Rong Ruihan woke up again. This time, his eyes were no longer the shocking blood red, but returned to their original deep black.
He groaned, holding his throbbing and painful forehead. After a moment, he sat up and found that he was soft and warm under his body.
Jun Xiaomo put a mat on him and covered him with a quilt. Although the mats and quilts looked a little dirty due to repeated use and no room or time to clean them, the thermal insulation effect was still quite strong.
Rong Ruihan could guess whose handiwork this was, and there was a somewhat relaxed expression between his cold brows and eyes.
However, he soon noticed an extra rope around his neck and a piece of blood jade hanging from his chest.
"This is..." Rong Ruihan's eyebrows wrinkled.
He remembered that when he first met "Yao Mo", the other party wanted to give this piece of blood jade to him. However, he did not trust "Yao Mo" at the time, so he did not accept it.
Why is this piece of blood jade hanging on his neck
"Hmph! Don't show such a disgusted expression. If it weren't for this piece of blood jade, you would have been waiting to die." A slightly older voice sounded from above his head. Rong Ruihan looked up and saw A face full of wrinkles... unfamiliar... face.
At this time, the owner of this face was stroking his beard, holding a teapot, sipping a sip of tea, smashing it in his mouth, and then tilting his head incomprehensibly.
—Yes, Mr. Chi likes to hold a teapot and drink tea at the spout, so his teapots are all specially designed.
Rong Ruihan wrapped the blood jade on his chest with his palm. In this blood jade, he could feel a warm breath continuously seeping into his limbs and bones. Under the combing of this warm breath, The demonic energy in his body became more docile.
Unexpectedly, this piece of blood jade could have such an effect, Rong Ruihan thought to himself, cupped his fists and said to Mr. Chi: "It must be the old man who reminded Xiao Mo of the purpose of this piece of blood jade. Thank you, old man, for your life-saving grace. "
Mr. Chi snorted coldly and said, "If I hadn't happened to know your mother and grandfather, I wouldn't have cared about your life or death."
Rong Ruihan looked at Mr. Chi in surprise, never expecting that this old man with unpredictable strength would actually know his relatives.
Mother...grandfather... Rong Ruihan's mood was a bit complicated. When the Jiang family was exterminated, he was still very young and had no memory at all.
If the surviving tribesmen hadn't found him later, he might have been kept in the dark by his father forever.
However, before her death, the mother-in-law also thought about entrusting this important piece of blood jade to an outsider and handed it over to herself. This fact made Rong Ruihan feel the long-lost warmth from his relatives.
Chi Lao sighed and told Rong Ruihan what he had said to Jun Xiaomo and the others before, including his regret for not being able to save his old friend and his tribe.
Finally, Mr. Chi patted Rong Ruihan on the shoulder and asked, "Boy, are you interested in being my apprentice?"
"Apprentice?!" Rong Ruihan's eyes widened in surprise.
He rarely showed his emotions and lost his composure. Today's unexpected situations broke his usual composure and calmness.
"Humph, why, you don't want to?" Chi Lao said angrily, "I never accept people outside my clan as disciples, but this time I made an exception for you for the sake of my dead friend. Still. Yes, you should throw away those messy exercises that you practiced before. It’s not about having too many exercises, it’s about being precise. You kid, you want to learn all the shabby exercises without even looking at them. Can it be compatible? To be honest, it’s a miracle that you can survive until now!”
Rong Ruihan was certainly moved. Although he could not see the specific strength of Mr. Chi, his intuition told him that Mr. Chi was definitely stronger than anyone he had ever seen!
but-
"Senior, it's not that I don't want you to be my master. It's just that I'm currently being hunted by Situ Cang, the national master of Lieyan Kingdom. I'm afraid it will bring you trouble." Rong Ruihan said helplessly.
"Situ Cang? Is that the guy who likes to play with formations and talismans?" Mr. Chi quickly guessed the identity of Situ Cang mentioned by Rong Ruihan.
"It was him. It was he who led the assassination of my mother-in-law's family back then. If he knew that you had accepted me as your disciple, senior, I'm afraid he would be unfavorable to you."
Chi Laoleng sneered: "With his strength, trying to destroy the Jiang clan is a joke! I have never found out the truth of that year, but he is definitely not the only one who did it, and maybe several cultivation sects joined forces. The evil they have committed... Humph! It is said that everyone who cultivates demons will punish them, but if you ask me, it is these cultivators who are wearing the skin of famous and upright families who have their hands full of blood! They will use whatever means necessary to the extreme!"
Rong Ruihan also had a deep understanding of what Mr. Chi said and couldn't agree more.
Chi Lao's tone softened and he continued: "As for the so-called national master, you don't need to worry too much. I have given him enough lessons. Now for the sake of my great-grandson, I will let him live for the time being. Sooner or later I have to deal with him completely!"
Rong Ruihan's heart skipped a beat. He thought he had been pushed to the end by Situ Cang, but unexpectedly, he was told that Situ Cang no longer posed any threat.
Like a person who has been drowning for a long time and now finally grasps the last straw, Rong Ruihan's heart beat wildly.
Suppressing the sudden surge of emotions in his heart, Rong Ruihan bowed to Mr. Chi and said firmly: "If possible, I hope the old man can give me the opportunity to kill my enemy personally."
In other words, give Situ Cang his life so that one day he can personally avenge his mother, concubine and clan members.
Chi Lao tilted his head towards Rong Ruihan and said, "Even if Situ Cang is seriously injured by me, with your current strength, it's still too early to deal with him."
Rong Ruihan clenched his fists unwillingly.
"But..." Chi Lao changed his words, "If you are willing to become my teacher, I can guarantee that within ten years, you will be able to twist off Situ Cang's neck with your own hands. Do you believe it?"
The reason why Mr. Chi tried every possible means to accept Ruihan as his disciple was not only because Rong Ruihan was the son of an old friend, but also because of Rong Ruihan's talent.
Rong Ruihan was born with a demon body and had special meridians. No one was more suitable than him to practice Chi Lao's self-created technique, not even Chi Hongyi and Xiao Tuanzi.
This time, Rong Ruihan didn't think much about it. He knelt down suddenly, bowed to Mr. Chi three times, and said respectfully: "Master, please bow to me, my disciple!"
"Hahahahaha... Okay! Okay! Okay! From now on, you will be my tenth generation disciple, Chi Ruihong, hahahahahaha..." Mr. Chi said with a smile and patted Rong Ruihan heartily on the shoulder.
At this moment, Chi Hongyi and Shao Sirong, who had walked not far away to deal with the prey with Jun Xiaomo and the others, came back. Mr. Chi waved to Chi Hongyi and said: "Hongyi, come on, this boy will be Your junior brother."
Although Mr. Chi and Chi Hongyi are related by grandfather and grandson, Chi Hongyi has worshiped Mr. Chi as his teacher since he became an adult, so he can be regarded as one of Mr. Chi's disciples.
Rong Ruihan took the initiative to cup his fists at Chi Hongyi and said, "Senior brother."
Chi Hongyi nodded, showing no other expression on his face.
He is different from Mr. Chi. Although Mr. Chi appears to be a master in front of ordinary tribesmen, once you get to know him, you will know that he is sometimes more like an old naughty boy with a childish innocence, a bit familiar and crazy, while Chi Hongyi Be much more reserved and rarely show your emotions.
His thoughts are also more careful. After pondering for a moment, Chi Hongyi asked: "Since Junior Brother Rong has become a disciple of Grandpa, are you planning to return with us this time?"
Mr. Chi and the others will not stay in the Mysterious Forest for too long, because Mr. Chi is still the current clan leader and cannot leave the clan for too long. What's more, the refining technique that Xiaotuanzi suffered half has to find a way to solve.
From Chi Lao's point of view, there is no doubt that the apprentice will follow the master, but Chi Hongyi thinks more - Rong Ruihan has too many things on his shoulders, and he may not be able to put them down for a while.
As expected, Rong Ruihan hesitated.
What made him hesitate was not only the affairs of Lieyan Kingdom, but also—
Not far away, the girl's light laughter came.
