Chapter 18 Apprenticeship and Accidents

The two gatekeepers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Then you wait here for a while, and I'll inform you."

Eat someone's mouth is soft, but hold someone's hands short.

Given that Jiang Ji was so good at it, they decided to go and run.

"Thank you, brother."

Jiang Ji didn't expect that the first step of becoming a disciple was difficult, and his previous confidence was reduced a little.

It is indeed as the gatekeeper said, he is almost seventeen years old now and has learned martial arts from other families.

When he met Xu Xuyang's picky eyes, he might have not met him yet, and just heard the news, he would let Jiang Ji leave.

Jiang Jiyou chatted with the remaining man in a mess, feeling a little anxious.

After a long time, the person who went to inform us came back.

"Come with me and go see Deacon Qu first. Deacon Qu has always been responsible for the screening in the previous session. If he can't say it, you will have no hope."

"Thank you, brother, for your conscience. I wonder if this deacon is easy to talk to?"

Jiang Ji looked at him with a smile on his face.

While leading the way, the gang lowered their voices and said, "Deacon Qu is kind and likes smart people the most. You can be smart at that time."

"I understand, thank you very much."

Jiang Ji showed a knowing smile on his face and handed him a small piece of silver.

Not long after, the two of them came to a separate courtyard.

"Deacon Qu, the man is brought here."

"Let him come in!"

A somewhat low, slightly old voice came from the yard.

At the warning of the gang, Jiang Ji pushed open the door of the courtyard and saw an old man with white hair lying on a recliner in the shadow of the locust tree in the courtyard.

He opened his eyes a little at this time, looked at Jiang Ji and then continued to close again.

"I'm a little older and I've practiced horizontal kung fu, but Xiao Cheng said that you are smart and have a high understanding, so it's not impossible to give you a chance."

"I have met Deacon Qu, your old words are really a sharp hit."

Jiang Ji said as he approached Deacon Qu and took out a large ingot of silver from his arms.

"You always open your eyes to see how your younger generations understand, and whether you can see the left guardian?"

Deacon Qu opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Ji, and then couldn't move his eyes away.

Deacon Qu coughed lightly: "You have a good understanding, but you are a little older..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji smiled unchanged and took out a silver ingot from his arms.

"You have a high understanding, but you have practiced other martial arts..."

Jiang Ji hesitated for a while, and took out a silver note of 100 taels again with a painful face.

Seeing Jiang Ji's face, Deacon Qu knew that it was almost done, so he naturally put away the silver.

Then he said with a smile: "My dear nephew has a high understanding and is very talented in practicing a horizontal path. I should recommend you to the Lord Zuo Guardian."

Jiang Ji cursed Lao Shutou in his heart, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Thank you, Deacon Qu."

"This is all your performance is good and has nothing to do with me. I am just doing business."

Although he was completely unfavorable to Jiang Ji, Deacon Qu still smiled and politely.

"You come with me, and I will take you to see Lord Zuo Guardian."

The two left the courtyard and continued to go deeper into the resident.

After passing through two corridors and crossing three stone bridges, the two came to a courtyard.

Not only does this courtyard cover a larger area than the one of Deacon Qu, but the decorations are not on the same level, but there are also two guards in front of the courtyard.

"Please inform the left guardian, Qu Fei asks for a meeting."

"Daichi Qu waited."

After a while, the man came out: "Deacon Qu, Lord Zuo Guardian is invited."

Deacon Qu sorted out his clothes and then walked inside.

Jiang Ji lowered his eyebrows and followed Deacon Qu.

After entering the house, Deacon Qu bent down and saluted: "I have seen the Left Guardian."

"Is there anything wrong?"

Xu Xuyang was facing the door, his eyes closed slightly, he supported his elbows on the table with one hand and rubbed his temples with his fingers, as if he was in a bad mood.

Deacon Qu said with a smile: "A young man with good qualifications came to become a disciple, and I specially brought him over."

"oh?"

Xu Xuyang opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ji.

"Uncle Xu?"

At this time, Jiang Ji could not help but shout after seeing Xu Xuyang's face clearly.

Xu Xuyang's expression stagnated, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his face was full of surprise: "Shao... Deacon Qu, please go out first."

Deacon Qu stepped out inexplicably, the only thing that could be sure was that Jiang Ji and Xu Xuyang knew each other.

After there was no one else in the house, Xu Xuyang shouted excitedly: "Young Master, why are you here?"

Jiang Ji raised his eyebrows: "I came out a few days ago and accidentally heard about the apprenticeship, so I planned to come and try it, but I didn't expect to meet you here.

Also, why do you call me Young Master? Where did Aunt Xu go? Why didn’t you see her?"

Xu Xuyang stood up and closed the door of the room, listened for a while, and then said, "Young Master, sit down first. We have never told you about your life experience. Now that you are growing up, it is time to tell you."

"life experience?"

Thinking of Grandma Mu's previous saying that Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are not an ordinary person, and that Uncle Xu has become the left guardian of Yunlong Gang, several speculations flashed through Jiang Ji's mind.

"Young Master, it's been a few months since you came out to roam. I wonder if you have heard of the Demon Sect?"

Jiang Ji looked at the man who was sitting next to him, tall, rough, and had a beard on his face, and was a little awkward.

But he said: "I have heard some of the stories before. It seems that it was a Demonic Sect that swept through most of Fengzhou more than ten years ago. Is my life experience related to the Demonic Sect?"

"That's right."

Xu Xuyang nodded solemnly and looked serious.

"You are the descendant of Jiang Jue, the leader of the Demon Sect, and our young master.

Back then, our Demon Sect was in the limelight in Fengzhou, and even controlled most of Fengzhou under his command.

At this time, an elder of the Zi Lei Sect made an appointment with the sect leader to fight in Tiandu Mountain and defeated the sect leader at the cost of serious injuries.

After the death of the sect leader, the Demon Ji Sect had no leader, and the government also took the opportunity to cooperate with the branch of the Purple Thunder Sect to attack our Demon Ji Sect together.

Due to lack of strength and uneven human hearts, the Demonic Sect fell apart."

Xu Xuyang looked at Jiang Ji with a burning look: "Fortunately, my aunt Xu and I took you away at that time, leaving a bloodline for the sect leader.

Over the years, while taking care of you, we have secretly managed the power, and prepared for the future comeback of the Demon Sect."

My predecessor seemed to have never practiced martial arts. He just took a medicine bath every few days and exercised his body simply. This seemed to be laying the foundation. Is Uncle Xu just waiting for the opportunity to become a disciple?
