Chapter 398 The Ascetic

Being dragged back to the stone plate, Yao Yu was pressed against the stone plate with her whole body on the ground.She tried her best to raise her head, but she could barely see the old man's toes.

But Tan Yaoyu didn't struggle anymore, because she saw that under the stone plate, someone used a sword to carve a few strong and powerful characters on the rock: "Those who know the sky walk, know the sky and don't know their destiny."

Yao Yu asked in surprise: "Are you the Xingzhe of Xingzhe Building?"

The old man frowned, "You just started yesterday? You really don't know who this old man is."

Yao Yu choked for a moment, he definitely couldn't beat him, since he was a senior in Xingzhelou, maybe he would be able to let him go if he was more honest.

"It doesn't count as a newcomer. I was accepted as an apprentice by the master when I was three years old. But this is indeed the first time I have come to the teacher's school. Before I got there, I was swallowed by the living Tai Sui."

The old man only became serious at this time, "Aren't you the disciple who made a mistake and was punished? Living Tai Sui should not attack the disciples of Xingzhelou. What foolish master did you worship and didn't even tell you how to go to Zhelou?"

Yao Yu always felt that the tone of the old man's speech was very familiar, so he replied unconsciously: "The tutor is Jiang Gan, the fortune teller of Xingzhelou."

The old man let out a "ha" laugh, and then carefully looked at Yao Yu, "It turns out to be the apprentice of that unlucky bastard. No wonder you were swallowed by Huo Tai Sui."

As soon as he heard the old man call Master "unlucky boy", Yao Yu realized that this person should be a senior, so his attitude became more respectful and he asked: "May I ask senior where this place is? How far is it from Xingzhe Tower? I am worried that Shimen is being besieged by the Fire Worship Cult at this time, so I am in a hurry to save people."

Yao Yu suddenly thought: "Senior's martial arts are profound and unpredictable, why don't you join me in resisting the Fire Worship Sect."

"The Zoroastrian Cult?" The old man showed a sneering smile, "They didn't dare... they didn't take it down twenty years ago, and it's even impossible to get close to it now. But the old man sees that you are not old, you know quite well many."

Yao Yu was a little puzzled, "If it wasn't for the siege of the Shimen, why did I call the mountain gate outside for so long, only an empty canoe appeared, and there was a crescent moon mark of Zoroastrianism on the boat? "

The old man asked: "Please explain the cause and effect clearly."

Although Yao Yu is not sure about the identity of the other party, but she has more problems than the old man at the moment, if she can get some clues from the old man, it will be much better than she is at a loss now.

So Yao Yu hesitated for a while, and told the story from the beginning to the end after he arrived at the mountain gate.

After listening to the old man, he frowned and asked, "You said that this is the first time you have come to Xingzhe Tower. What did that brat Jiang Gan ask you to do?"

"Master ordered me to choose the landlord." Yao Yu replied bluntly.She really wanted to see the expression on Master's face when he was called a brat.

The old man's face darkened when he heard the words, "It seems that the rules of the Xingzhe Building have become more and more loose in recent years. He even dared to deliberately prevent his fellow students from running for the building building."

Tan Yaoyu was taken aback for a moment, and she had a bad guess in her heart, "What does senior mean?"

The old man didn't answer her, instead he said: "You are that boy Jiang Gan's apprentice, you should call me Master."

Tan Yaoyu stared at the old man dumbfounded, who turned out to be the master's master? !Seeing that even in this closed cave, the old man's clothes are still clean and tidy, and his hair is combed meticulously. This is completely different from the image of Master's unkempt all day long.However, the tone of the two people's speech is indeed somewhat similar.

"What? Can't this old man be your teacher?" After finishing speaking, the old man withdrew the pressure on Yao Yu.

Tan Yaoyu didn't dare to do it again, so he quickly got up respectfully and knelt down and kowtowed to salute, "Master, my disciple and granddaughter Tan invites Yu to pay my respects to Master." Yaoyu thought for a while, and then added a sentence, " May the master be as blessed as the East Sea, and live longer than Nanshan."

The old man said in dissatisfaction: "You girl, why are you so clumsy. If the old man stays in this dark place, if he lives longer than Nanshan, won't he suffer endlessly?"

Tan Yaoyu learned from Shigong that it was not the Fire Worship Cult who came to make trouble, so she was not so anxious. She looked at the damp and cloudy cave wall, and asked tentatively: "Just now, Shigong thought I was a disciple who came here to be punished. What are you doing here, Master?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you think I was punished, so I was imprisoned here?" The old man suddenly laughed, "Now the elders in Xingzhe Building are all the disciples of the old man. Which one of them dares to punish me and imprison me?!"

Although Yao Yu doesn't know how the Xingzhe Building works.But in terms of seniority, Master is a respectable person, no matter what, he shouldn't live in this dark and damp cave all year round.

The old man sighed vaguely, "I was imprisoned here as an ascetic for a lifetime because I failed to run for the landlord. I will never get out again..."

Tan Yaoyu's eyes widened in disbelief, what?Did she hear correctly?If you don't become the landlord, you will be imprisoned here for the rest of your life?Why has she never heard from Master that there are such rules!If she competes with Yingfeng, one of them will lose...

Yao Yu really can't imagine being locked up here for the rest of her life...then she might as well simply obey the fate and die!
Seeing Tan Yaoyu's panicked expression, the old man burst out laughing, "I believed it! I believed it! You actually believed it!"

As soon as he flicked his sleeves, the man stood up straight from the stone plate, "Our Xingzhe Tower is not a crooked way like Zoroastrianism. How could there be such rules? Old things, when you get to Xingzhe Tower, you will gradually understand I know. Now what you want to think about is how to get back to the Xingzhe Tower. Otherwise, if you miss the time to choose the landlord, you will be regarded as abstaining."

Yao Yu thought about it, Yingfeng, like her, should be the first time to visit Xingzhe Tower this time.It seems a bit far-fetched to say that Yingfeng released a living Tai Sui into the water, intending to trap her so that she could become the only landlord candidate.

"Who exactly wants to trap me here? Is there anyone else besides Yingfeng who wants to compete for the position of landlord?"

"Hey! Little girl, what's there to think about! There are too many things in this world that I can't figure out. Rather than disturbing others here, you might as well swim down the river to the Xingzhe Tower. Maybe you can still make it in time."

"Swimming to the Xingzhe Tower?!" Zhao Yu showed a bitter face, "Not to mention that I am not good at water. The water can't even float up the leaves, so I am destined to drown and die if I go down."

The old man sneered, "You really don't know anything. There is an underground river flowing through the pool outside the mountain gate, and this underground river is connected to the Bohai Sea. When the tide falls every day, the water level in the pool will also drop. So as to reveal the cave that can enter and exit here. The reason why the vines you cut down sink into the water is because they fell into the undercurrent and were sucked in."
