Chapter 4991 4994 [Learning from a Master]

"You want to take me as your master?!" Taishang Laojun looked at Xiang Nan carefully, and after a moment he finally nodded, "Okay, since you are born an anomaly, then I will accept you as my disciple."

"Master, your disciple thanks you." Xiang Nan was overjoyed to see that he really accepted him as a disciple, and kowtowed again.

However, I couldn't help but feel a little daunted by what he called a "natural anomaly". "It seems that Laojun has seen through my identity."

"Forget it, get up." Taishang Laojun said with a smile, "You little pig are quite interesting. You actually want to take me as your master."

"Yes, I'm sorry for being so presumptuous." Xiang Nan also smiled, and became more and more certain that Taishang Laojun was indeed extremely powerful and had a keen eye, as he could actually see his true identity at a glance.

"Hey, brother Zhu, I have helped you to successfully become my apprentice. Now, shouldn't you do me a favor as well?" Taibai Jinxing looked at Xiang Nan and said.

"You just want me to help you keep an eye on Chang'e and prevent her from being harassed by other men." Xiang Nan glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Chang'e will be fine.

Firstly, she has Xiaolongnu to take care of her, and her fighting ability is quite high; secondly, Houyi's spirit is still alive, so if Chang'e is bullied, he will also help her."

"Really?! Oh, then I feel relieved." Taibai Jinxing smiled when he heard it.

"But you also owe Xiaolongnu a favor, so remember to repay it in the future," Xiang Nan reminded.

"Don't worry, I will." Taibai Jinxing smiled.

……

In the following time, Xiang Nan followed Taishang Laojun to learn skills.

Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism. He not only has boundless magical powers, but is also good at refining elixirs and weapons.

Many of the powerful magic weapons in "Journey to the West" came from Laozi's alchemy furnace.

For example, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the Shangbaoqinjin Rake, the Mutton Fat Jade Vase, the Purple Gold Red Gourd, the Golden Rope, the Vajra Bracelet, the Purple Gold Bell, etc., so he was jokingly called "the first arms dealer in Journey to the West".

Xiang Nan could naturally learn a lot from Taishang Laojun.

However, while learning his skills, he did not forget Xiaolongnu and did not leave her alone in the world.

Instead, he split himself into two, leaving one clone to learn from Taishang Laojun, while he himself accompanied Xiaolongnu to protect Chang'e.

For this purpose, he specially rented a house next to Dalang Cake Shop, so that he could live next to Erniu and Chang'e, making it convenient to take care of Erniu and Chang'e.

But it won't be a big deal, because Erniu has Houyi's soul to protect him, and if his life is in danger, Houyi will help him directly.

So the most they can do is help deal with some playboys and scoundrels.

"Brother Erniu, do you still remember me?" Xiang Nan asked Erniu with a smile.

"Oh, Brother Zhu, it's you!" Erniu remembered Xiang Nan as soon as he saw him. "I said I wasn't dreaming. I really saw you again."

"Haha, yes, that's right. How can we be brothers destined to be together?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I live next door to you now. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know. I will definitely try my best to help you."

"Thank you, Brother Zhu." Erniu smiled happily when he heard it.

……

In the following days, Xiang Nan and Xiaolongnu stayed with Erniu and Chang'e.

Chang'e has now moved into Dalang Cake Shop as Erniu's wife, and urged Erniu to practice bow drawing, archery, and moving stones every day, hoping that Erniu can complete the task of shooting the sun as soon as possible. Erniu felt puzzled by this wife who came out of nowhere, but he was honest and kind, so he still practiced hard every day according to Chang'e's instructions.

Moreover, he took good care of Chang'e, not only asking about her well-being, but also making pancakes for her to eat.

However, even though Erniu has done his best, Chang'e still looks down on him, despising him for being stupid, foolish and uninteresting, and who only knows how to move stones and make pancakes with a grunt all day long.

"Oh my god, how could I meet such a useless man like you?" Chang'e scolded Erniu, "If you keep dawdling like this, when will I be able to return to heaven?"

"I did everything you asked me to do." Erniu felt aggrieved, "You recognized the wrong person and took me for Hou Yi. In fact, I am not Hou Yi at all, and I can't shoot the sun."

"Humph, you can obviously shoot down the sun, but you just won't do it." Chang'e scolded, "I don't want to care about you anymore."

“……”Erniu felt extremely aggrieved.

……

But not everyone knows Erniu’s suffering. Seeing that he has such a beautiful wife, many men in the city are envious and jealous of him.

That day, a group of people came to Dalang Bakery.

"Huh, where is the boss? Come out, your cakes are killing people, you know that?" a big man shouted loudly, scaring everyone.

"Hey, brother, don't talk nonsense. The cakes in our Dalang Bakery have always been genuine, fair to everyone, delicious and well-known far and wide, and no one has ever died from eating them." Erniu's master Wu Da stepped forward to defend himself when he heard this.

"Are you saying that I'm being a scoundrel?" The big man shouted, "Look, my brother's body is right here, do you dare to deny it?"

I saw a person lying on the door panel, with his eyes closed and no sound.

"That doesn't mean you ate the cakes from our cake shop." Wu Da said quickly when he saw this.

"Humph, he ate your bread this morning and then died with foam at the mouth. You dare to deny it? I'm going to beat you up!" The big man pushed Wu Da and made him fall down.

"Uncle Wu~" Erniu saw this and hurried forward to help Wu Da up, "Why are you hitting people?"

"Humph, hitting people?! I'll hit you back!" The big man kicked him.

Although Erniu is strong, he is honest and simple in character. He never dares to fight with others and does not want to cause trouble. Therefore, he could not escape and was kicked to the ground by someone.

"Oh, why are you so useless? Show me your martial arts." Upon seeing this, Chang'e immediately came out of the shop and scolded Erniu.

"I... I don't know any martial arts..." Erniu said helplessly.

He was taken in by Uncle Wu when he was young and learned the technique of making pancakes and the principles of life. He always made money by being friendly and helped others, and never fought with others.

"Haha, it's her, she is the culprit." The big man's eyes lit up when he saw Chang'e, "The cakes in your cake shop were fine before, but now there is a woman of unknown origin. My brother was poisoned to death, it must be related to her. Come, let's catch this poisonous woman."

"Yes, take him away!"

"Catch this woman!"

"Rape first and then kill, to avenge our brothers~"

The group of people brought by the big man immediately started to make a lot of noise and started to touch Chang'e.

"What are you doing? Let me go! Erniu, why don't you use all your strength! What on earth are you doing, you!"
