Since returning from Shen Huanchi's cave that day, the body of the old man has been worsening day by day, and the lingering decayed aura on his body has become more and more intense.

　　 But for these, the clever old man obviously doesn't care very much, as if all this has nothing to do with him.

What he does every day now is to accompany his grandson, tell Xiaobao about his two-hundred years of casual training experience, and teach Xiaobao the principles he has learned in the past two hundred years to behave in the world. .

　　Of course, Xiaobao still doesn't understand some truths, but it doesn't matter, the wonderful old man doesn't care, he still tells himself, he believes his grandson will understand it sooner or later!

　　 In the early spring, there were still gusts of cold wind on the top of Yunbi Peak.

　　 At this time, on the Canglong Rock on the top of the mountain, an old man and a young man were sitting on it overlooking the panoramic view of Yunbi Peak.

　　The old man wore a gray robe, his messy white hair and beard fluttered in the wind, his old face was covered with wrinkles, but he looked extremely calm.

　　 The boy was dressed in blue, his chubby face was flushed by the cold wind, and his **** eyes kept looking at the old man's face with a worried look in his eyes.

　　 Suddenly, the old man said leisurely:

　　 "Little Treasure, you must remember that strength in this world represents everything. If you are weak, you will be beaten, so you must practice seriously in the future. Only if you have enough strength can you live better!"

　　 "Little treasure got it!"

　　 The boy nodded obediently and said.

"Xiaobao, you have to know how to forbearance, and more importantly, you have to learn to be strong. You have the aptitude of Feng Ling and you have a boundless future. Although it will be difficult to practice in the previous few years, everything will be fine as long as you get through it.... Regarding the momentary success or failure."

　　 "Okay, grandpa!"

　　 "Grandpa worked hard all his life, and in the end he was only a monk in the early stage of foundation building. I don't know what the state of the scene is behind this. Xiaobao, if you have the opportunity, please go and see for Grandpa, and tell me then!"

　　 "Little treasure, grandpa is dying, after grandpa is gone, you must live well!"

　　 Inside a cave in the back mountain, a patch of blood mist filled the surrounding area, and a pungent smell of blood was floating in the air.

　　 At this time, in a stone chamber in the cave mansion, Shen Ruiling was sitting on the pad with shirtless upper body.

　　 I saw that a dark scale in mid-air was slowly drifting towards Shen Ruiling's body, wrapped in aura.

　　As soon as he touched, the scales immediately attached to his skin and penetrated into his flesh and blood like roots.

　　 For a while, bright red blood spewed out, dripping directly along his arm to the ground.

　　 At this time, a pool of crimson blood has accumulated on the ground behind Shen Ruiling!

After 　　 Banzhuxiang's time, the scales have been deeply submerged in his skin and flesh, and the flesh and blood in the wound began to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　 After a long time, the hideous look on Shen Ruiling's face gradually faded, and the clenched teeth slowly loosened, and a long sigh came out of his mouth.

　　 However, Shen Ruiling, who was relaxed, looked extremely weak, his face was pale and bloodless, and his vitality was hurt.

　　 Here, Shen Ruiling also seemed to be aware of the terrible condition in his body, and quickly poured out a third-order tonic pill from the jade bottle next to him, swallowed it directly, and then immediately recovered from meditation.

　　 I have to say that the process of refining scales is like cutting flesh and bleeding.

　　 If it's just one or two times, it's okay, thanks to the powerful recovery ability of Brother Shen Ruiling, he will soon be healed.

　　 However, if this happens frequently, even if Shen Ruiling has the physique of the foundation-building monk, it can't bear it.

　　 After half a stick of incense, Shen Ruiling's face turned ruddy again, and it was obvious that the lost blood had been made up by the pill just now.

　　 After a while, Shen Ruiling slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp gaze shot from his deep eyes and fell on his own arm.

　　 With the operation of the magical power, the densely arranged black scales instantly covered his entire arm, allowing him to clearly feel the powerful force contained in his arm!

　　 Looking at his arms covered with scales, Shen Ruiling finally showed a smile of joy on his face, obviously he felt that the pain he had suffered before was worth it!

　　 However, just when he was slightly proud of his heart, an aura of light passed directly through the restriction of the cave entrance and flew beside him.

　　 Shen Ruiling grabbed the magic talisman and checked the content on it.

　　 Suddenly, Shen Ruiling's originally pleased face showed a solemn look, and then he couldn't help sighing.

　　 This magic talisman came from the clever old man, which means that he is going to be dying and wants to see him for the last time and explain some things.

　　 Looking at the magic talisman in his hand, Shen Ruiling didn't dare to hesitate. After quickly changing his clothes, he hurried to the small courtyard of the wonderful old man.

　　 After agreeing to be the guest of the Shen family, the old man did not move into the cave in the back mountain that Shen Huanchi had prepared for him.

　　 Instead, he built a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, and lived in it with Xiaobao, just like an ordinary old man.

　　 When Shen Ruiling rushed to the old man’s courtyard, he immediately saw Xiaobao who was waiting at the door and asked quickly:

　　 "How is your grandpa?"

　　 Xiaobao, who was guarding the door, saw Shen Ruiling appear, his face immediately showed a hint of joy, and then said anxiously:

　　 "Grandpa is in bed, I will take you over!"

　　 Following Xiaobao, Shen Ruiling walked quickly to the house in the courtyard and saw the wonderful old man lying on the bed.

　　 Although the wonderful old man at this time still looks so old, his face is slightly rosy, and there is a long-lost spirit appearing on his body.

　　 Seeing this scene, Shen Ruiling knew that the wonderful old man at this time was already back to light, I am afraid it really is no longer possible!

　　 After seeing Shen Ruiling's appearance, the wonderful old man's face flashed a gratified smile, he straightened up slowly, and said weakly:

　　 "You can come here, old man, I thank you first!"

　　 "Miao Keqing is polite, this is what I should do!"

　　 Looking at the old man who was about to run out of oil, an inexplicable feeling struck Shen Ruiling's heart, making him feel like something had been touched deep in his heart.

　　 Although the old man in front of him framed himself when they first met for the first time, and caused a big trouble for himself and his sixth uncle.

　　 But in the following process of getting along, Shen Ruiling found that the old man was not bad, and he had saved his life several times.

　　 So in general, Shen Ruiling does not have any hatred for the wonderful old man, but will be moved by his love for his grandson ~ lightnovelpub.net~ can be considered to recognize him.

　　 Now that this old man who has been fighting for his grandson is about to sit down, Shen Ruiling still feels a little bit reluctant.

　　 Here, the clever old man looked at Shen Ruiling and slowly said:

　　 "Old man, I'm afraid it's no longer enough. For more than a year, thank you little friend and family for taking in, so that I and Xiaobao have a safe and secure place to live!"

　　 "Friends of Taoism are polite!"

　　 "I have nothing to worry about now. The only thing I can't worry about is my grandson."

　　 Hearing this, the little treasure on the side burst into tears and choked with the palm of the wonderful old man:

"grandfather!"

　　 Looking at the grandson in front of him, the wonderful old man suddenly burst into tears.

　　 "Little treasure, listen to Grandpa!"

　　 immediately sorted out the words, and said to Shen Ruiling again:

　　 "Although Little Treasure's spiritual roots have been activated, this child can't cultivate yet, I can't worry about him!"

　　 "You can rest assured that the family will take care of him!" Shen Ruiling comforted.

　　 "I know this, but I still can't worry about him alone."

　　 Suddenly, the wonderful old man sat up, clutched Shen Ruiling's hand tightly, and said eagerly:

　　 "I have something to ask a little friend for help, I hope the little friend can agree!"

　　 "What's the matter? Fellow Daoists, but it doesn't hurt to say!"

　　 Looking at the old man who was still dead, Shen Ruiling had no choice but to agree.

　　 "Old man, I want you to accept Xiaobao as an apprentice!"
