Chapter 765: A Boy's Heart
After the smashing was over, Erhu pointed to Zhongli Zan's father, who fell to the ground, and said, "You are an outsider, be honest with me, and clip my tail for me, otherwise I will beat you once when I see you, phew!"
Erhu spat in Zhong Lizan's father's face and walked away with his seven brothers.
Outside the courtyard, a group of onlookers looked indifferent, looking at Zhong Lizan's family, no one was willing to stand up for them to uphold justice, not even a word for them.
Twelve-year-old Zhong Lizan realized that in this world, the only reliable person can only be himself.
In the countryside, there are many such fights, the two families are flat-headed people, they have not been killed or disabled, even if they go to the government to complain, the government is perfunctory, and the life lawsuit has not been dealt with, who has the leisure to care about your trivial matter?
Even if they sue the king, the two tiger brothers will at most pay some medical expenses to Zhongli Zan's family, which is not enough money for the lawsuit. Zhong Lizan's father swallowed his anger and did not go to the official.
Overnight, my father's hair turned gray, and in this world of the jungle, he had no strength but to swallow his anger and live humbly.
Zhong Lizan bit his lip and bled out, he secretly made up his mind that he must make himself stronger, avenge his parents, and protect his parents from being bullied.
Zhong Lizan told his parents that he was going to leave the small mountain village and go outside to explore the world. Zhong Lizan is the eldest son in the family, and there are several younger siblings under him, and his parents did not stop him, he took a few clothes and a few pieces of dry food, and left the small mountain village.
Zhong Lizan went to the county seat and asked around about where he could learn martial arts. Zhong Lizan thought to himself that he had learned martial arts and become a martial artist, even if there were more brothers in the Erhu family, he would be able to beat them all down.
Knowing that the Righteous Way Academy was the best place to learn martial arts, Zhong Lizan came to the Righteous Way Academy in high spirits.
Zhong Lizan, a poor child with no money, no power and no talent, wanted to enter the Zhengdao Academy to learn martial arts, but the result can be imagined, he didn't enter the door, so he let the family leave.
Zhong Lizan was not discouraged, the Zhengdao Academy did not accept him, he went to other academies, or sects, and the entire place where Cheng Pingguo taught martial arts was trodden by him, and no place was willing to take him in.
When Zhong Lizan left the small mountain village, he made up his mind not to become a warrior and never return to his hometown.
There is a Jingwu Pavilion in Yongfu City, which is a place to train guards for King Chengping, Zhong Lizan works as a partner in the restaurant and teahouse near the Jingwu Pavilion, and whenever he has free time, he climbs over the big wall of the Jingwu Pavilion and peeks at the guards practicing martial arts.
Several times, Zhong Lizan was caught by the guards, the lighter one was scolded, and the heavier one was beaten by a beating, but no matter what, Zhong Lizan's heart did not extinguish the fire of martial arts.
The picture of his parents being beaten always flashed in front of Zhong Lizan, in order to avenge his parents, he suffered a lot and was tired, Zhong Lizan could also eat and stand it.
Zhong Lizan was a buddy in the restaurant, and one day a group of guests came, and Zhong Lizan went to entertain him. From the conversation of the guests, Zhong Lizan learned that a middle-aged man in a red robe was a great general, and the sixfold cultivation of the Lingwu Realm was very powerful.
Zhong Lizan remembered it in his heart, staring at the red-robed man, and after the red-robed man left the restaurant, Zhong Lizan chased after him.
The red-robed man was a little surprised and asked, "Little guy, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Lizan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the red-robed man three times, and said, "My lord, please take me as an apprentice, I want to become a martial artist and learn martial arts." ”
The red-robed man said, "If you want to learn martial arts, you have to sign up for the place where martial arts are taught." ”
Zhong Lizan said: "I am a child of a poor family, I don't have a letter of recommendation, and my talent is not high, so they don't accept me. ”
The red-robed man said, "Then I can't help you." ”
Saying that, the red-robed man was about to leave, Zhong Lizan refused to miss this great opportunity, stepped forward and hugged the red-robed man's thigh, and said, "My lord, please, you can teach me martial arts, I want to avenge my parents......"
"I can't teach you, you can go," the red-robed man flicked slightly, and Zhong Lizan fell to the ground on all fours.
By the time Zhong Lizan got up, the red-robed man had disappeared. The martial artist turned out to be so powerful, and Zhong Lizan strengthened his determination to learn martial arts.
A few days later, the red-robed man went to the restaurant where Zhong Lizan was to eat, and Zhong Lizan ran over to offer courtesy and serve the red-robed man with all his heart. The red-robed man had an indifferent attitude, and he didn't even look at Zhong Lizan.
However, Zhong Lizan was still enthusiastic, and served the red-robed man as if he were his master.
The red-robed man went to the restaurant to eat every day for a month, and Zhong Lizan served the red-robed man for a month. In the past month, the red-robed man has been indifferent to Zhong Lizan and ignored him, but Zhong Lizan has been doing his best to please him in every way.
A month later, the red-robed man finally spoke to Zhong Lizan, "Little guy, do you really want to learn martial arts so much?"
When the red-robed man finally spoke to himself, Zhongli Zan was overjoyed and exclaimed, "I always want to learn martial arts!"
The red-robed man sighed and said, "You are such a persistent child, it is rare in the world, you have served me for a month, I will teach you martial arts." ”
"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Zhong Lizan knelt on the ground, Bang Bang kowtowed, his head was dripping with blood, and he was about to smash.
Since then, the red-robed man would take a little time out every day to teach Zhong Lizan martial arts, and Zhong Lizan studied wholeheartedly, practicing in his dreams.
After studying with the red-robed man for three months, Zhong Lizan has already learned a lot of kung fu.
One day, the red-robed man said to Zhong Lizan, "I can't teach you anymore. ”
Zhong Lizan was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and asked, "Master, why?"
The red-robed man said: "Your talent is mediocre, your true qi cannot be awakened, you are destined to become a martial artist, and no matter how much you practice, it will be in vain." ”
Zhong Lizan knelt on the ground, wept bitterly, and said, "Master, I want to become a martial artist, you must help me." ”
The red-robed man frowned and said, "You have mediocre talent, you are destined not to become a martial artist, this is the will of heaven, don't mess around, don't call me Master in the future." ”
The red-robed man pushed Zhong Lizan away and walked away.
Zhong Lizan knew that with his current efforts, he would not be able to avenge his parents. Since leaving his hometown, Zhong Lizan has wandered around, and he has seen a lot of the hot and cold world, in this world, strength determines everything, warriors can enjoy glory and wealth, can be domineering, and can override others.
Zhong Lizan was fed up with contempt and bullying, and he must become a martial artist.
Zhong Lizan came to the door of the red-robed man's house, knelt on the ground, and begged the red-robed man to help him become a warrior. The red-robed man told his family not to pay attention to Zhong Lizan.
Zhong Lizan didn't give up, so he knelt in front of the red-robed man's house, kneeling for three days and three nights, and one day it rained heavily, Zhong Lizan still knelt on the ground and refused to leave.
Wet by the torrential rain, Zhong Lizan launched a high fever, in a daze, he still knelt in front of the red-robed man's house, as long as the red-robed man did not help him, even if he died, he would not move the slightest.
Zhonglizan had a high fever and thought he was going to die, but after surviving for a day, he retreated, and Zhonglizan picked up another life.
On the morning of the fourth day, the red-robed man finally couldn't help it and came out to see Zhong Lizan.
Zhong Lizan saw the red-robed man, grinned, a smile appeared on his pale face, and shouted, "Master." ”
The red-robed man raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Are you crazy?!"
Zhong Lizan said: "If I can't become a martial artist, there is no point in my life." ”
"In order to become a warrior, you are willing to give up your own life?" asked the red-robed man.
Zhong Lizan replied without hesitation: "Yes!"
The red-robed man looked at Zhong Lizan, was silent for a long time, and said, "Then you come with me." ”
Zhongli Zan moved his body, and immediately bared his teeth and grinned, kneeling on the ground for too long for him to stand up. The red-robed man called two family members and helped Zhongli Zan into the mansion.
The red-robed man took Zhong Lizan to a room and sat face to face with Zhong Lizan, Zhong Lizan's legs were lying on his back, and he couldn't straighten them. After kneeling for three days and three nights, and another rain, Zhongli Zan did not die, it was really fateful.
The red-robed man took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "This bottle contains the Life-Changing Gain Pill, you only need to eat one pill to break through the bottleneck and become a martial artist." ”
Zhong Lizan stared at the small porcelain vase, his eyes shining brightly.
"However," the red-robed man changed his words, "this Life-Changing Gain Pill has great side effects, and taking one pill will cost you five years of yang life." ”
Zhong Lizan resolutely shouted: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can become a martial artist, it doesn't matter if you lose Yangshou." ”
The red-robed man stared at Zhong Lizan and said, "Boy, once Yangshou is lost, it can't be made up, you have to think carefully." ”
"I've already thought about it, I want to become a martial artist at all costs!" Compared to becoming a martial artist, Zhong Lizan didn't take the loss of Yang Shou seriously at all.
The red-robed man said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't say more." ”
The red-robed man pushed the small porcelain vase in front of Zhong Lizan, who opened the small porcelain vase and made a move that shocked the red-robed man. Zhong Lizan actually raised his head and ate all the life-changing gain pills in the bottle.
"You're crazy!" the red-robed man roared.
Zhong Lizan put down the small porcelain vase and said with a smile: "Master, isn't it true that the more you eat this Life-Changing Gain Pill, the higher your cultivation will be?"
"Cultivating to a high level in exchange for a short lifespan!" the red-robed man shouted.
Zhong Lizan smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, the scenery is beautiful, and it is happy to live for a day, but if you have a nest, you will suffer if you live for a year." ”
The red-robed man said: "You have eaten all those life-changing gain pills, you will not live for twenty years, you are only in your teens now, and when you are in your thirties, you will die!"
"No matter, at least I can live a chic life for the past twenty years," Zhong Lizan said.
