18. Judge
Zhang Yi knew that the master was in good health, what did it mean to give the property to himself, so he asked the master: "Master, are you going to go to the United States?"
Because his wife was buried in Meijianguo, together with her parents, she also left a lot of assets in Meijianguo, all of which were left to the master, although the master did not lack this money, but he refused to cheapen the foreigners, and he couldn't take care of it, so he entrusted it to a law firm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Yi thought that the master was going to settle in the United States, so he wanted to give Zhang Yi the property here.
The master laughed and said, "What am I going to do in the United States, I want to go home." ”
Zhang Yi could still see a trace of bitterness in his master's smile. He never mentioned home, thinking of the exercises practiced by his master, Zhang Yi had a guess in his heart, so he asked: "Aren't you going home? ”
As a result, the master said to Zhang Yi: "You are my official apprentice, and the only apprentice, you want to inherit my mantle, and when you take over my mantle, I can go home, and I have my own arrangements at home." ”
The master raised his hand to stop Zhang Yi's questioning, took a ring down from under his hand, and then put it on for Zhang Yi, before saying to Zhang Yi: "Now I will give you this ring, and tell you the origin of the ring, so that you know who I am and what my origin is, of course, the responsibility will be handed over to you in the future." ”
This is the first time that the master wants to talk about his own affairs, and his appearance is very solemn, obviously still standing in the backyard, which is inappropriate.
Zhang Yi took the master back to the house, brewed the master's tea, stood quietly and solemnly, and listened to the master tell his story.
After the master beckoned Zhang Yi to sit down, he spoke: "You know my surname is Ling, and I don't know anything else, my father was the housekeeper of Master Xu when he lived in seclusion in Xiajin, I was the son of the Xu family, when I was very young, my mother died, and when I was fourteen years old, Master Xu died, and my father was killed by someone, who was shot in the back." ”
Master Xu, who lived in seclusion in Xiajin, Zhang Yi counted the people who lived in seclusion in Xiajin many years ago, and the surname Xu was famous, so he knew who it was, as soon as Master Xu died, the master's father was plotted, Zhang Yi said: "The master who plotted against the master is a hermit from the East, or a Xia traitor." ”
The master's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the murderous aura inside came out suddenly, and he exhaled for a long time and said: "It was a student of Master Xu, and later became a summer traitor, and I wanted to ask Master Xu to come forward to maintain the ground in Xiajin, but I was scolded by Master Xu, and when I came back in the future, my father never let him enter the door, and when Master Xu was buried, he came again, and then he was reprimanded by my father, and beat him with the Dongyin bodyguards he brought, and a few days later, they plotted against my father." ”
After so many years, when the master recalled this, he was still very angry, and Zhang Yi pressed his hand on the master's arm, wanting to comfort him. The master pressed his backhand on Zhang Yi's hand, and his hand was naturally a golden wire wrapped around his wrist, but Zhang Yi's palm was cleverly broken free.
After thinking about Zhang Yi's movements, the master said, "This trick is good." ”
After such a mistake, the master's expression recovered a lot, shook his head and continued: "After I buried my father, I began to take revenge and kill the whole family of the Xia traitor. At that time, I was only fourteen years old, and I didn't understand national affairs, but I remembered the hatred, it was the Dongyin people who came, and there were many Xia traitors, so I killed my father. I only killed Xia Traitor's family, obviously it couldn't relieve my pain, and then I often slipped into the Dongyin Concession to kill people, and when the Dongyin Concession was heavily guarded, I began to kill Xia Traitor. ”
As soon as Zhang Yi heard the age of the master when Master Xu died, he knew that he was indeed not mistaken, the master was 83 years old, because he was thin and in good spirits, and he really couldn't see that he was so old.
The master looked ahead, and he didn't know where to look, and his mouth was still reminiscing: "In a few years, I can't remember how many people I killed, and then the investigation was too strict, so I went to Jianghai and then killed, and when there was no chance, I went to Jiuxiang Island, and when I shot on Jiuxiang Island, I met a colleague." This house was left to me by this peer, let me leave it to you. ”
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "He asked you to leave it to me?"
The master pointed to the ring on Zhang Yi's hand and said, "This ring and the house were given to me by him, they should be together, I passed the ring to you, won't this property be given to you?"
The master doesn't like to talk, and it's even more rare to laugh, he is very thin, but he is not angry and arrogant, he usually only uses his eyes to express his thoughts, and he will laugh when he is with Zhang Yi, this time it is rare to be able to explain it so clearly.
Zhang Yi asked the master: "So what is the importance of this ring?"
The master smiled and said: "Judge, the one with the ring is the judge, the person's surname is Zhu, he is a fortune teller, at that time he just said that he was a judge, after the Dongyin people surrendered, he gave me the ring, saying that I am a judge, now, you are not a judge." ”
Of course, Zhang Yi knew what a judge was, and there was a position of judge in the Great Sui to help the chief official deal with government affairs, similar to a staff member. There is also a saying that the judges of the underworld sentence the reincarnation of the dead, punish the wicked, and reward the good.
There are four major judges in the Yama Hall of Hades, which are divided into the Division of Rewarding the Good, the Division of Punishing the Evil, the Department of Yin Law and the Division of Inspection.
Wearing such a ring is a judge, Zhang Yi couldn't figure it out, so he asked the master with a smile: "Is the judge of the Yama Palace?
The master shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I can't say it clearly, I wish the blind man a chatter, I don't know much, I don't understand what he said, and I don't want to listen to it." There was a cave in the basement of the storeroom where garden tools were kept, and there was a wooden plank in it, which was left by the blind man, saying that as long as I found someone to pass the ring, it would be clear when I saw the plank. He asked me to wait in Jianghai, saying that I would meet a new judge in Jianghai, and I waited for decades, and then I found that you were suitable, and now you are the new judge. When you have time, you can dig it up and have a look. ”
Zhang Yi asked: "What are the conditions for being a judge?
The master looked at Zhang Yi and said, "If you dare to kill, you can kill, and the judge will only kill foreigners and Xia traitors." ”
Zhang Yi asked a few more words, but the master couldn't answer at all, and finally waved his hand and said: "Now we don't have time to talk about this, I wish the blind man an apprentice, named Li Yunlong, he likes to talk, he is more verbose than Zhu Blind, he knows all these things, let him tell you, this winter vacation, you have to concentrate and learn all the exercises I have learned from elementary school." My father is only one of my sons, I have no children, only you are an apprentice, you have to pass on the exercises, otherwise I will not have the face to go home. ”
Zhang Yi listened obediently, and said in surprise: "Master, you haven't been back to the house yet?"
The master smiled bitterly and said: "It's all about wishing the blind man to make trouble, give me this Laoshizi ring, you said that I went everywhere to kill the Dongyin people, how can I enter the house, the Dongyin people are gone, but I am in front of the judge, and it is not good to go back, don't you see that my surname has always been Ling? Before that, I have to pass on all the unique skills to you, you are going to enter the wall of our disciple's door, you can only use the big frame and the Taiji Sword all the way, and the rest is not clear, what kind of descendant disciple is it. ”
After a brief introduction, the master stopped talking nonsense, and pulled Zhang Yi to the garden again, and began to teach, he is now like an arrow, Zhang Yi is still so busy, he didn't come over last year, and he still played shutdown in the end, so he asked Zhang Yi to shut down at the beginning, and he was not allowed to go home during the New Year, just Wu Dong accompanied him, when to finish learning his craft, when to leave, not allowed to go if he can't finish learning, those jobs and studies, don't do it.
As a result, when the master played a few boxing methods in a row and began to dictate, Zhang Yi knew why the master was in a hurry, he had been practicing since he was a child, until his father died, and he had been learning the exercises.
Because the master lived in seclusion with Master Xu, and did not contact his family, coupled with the danger of the current situation, people had a sense of precariousness, so he was in a hurry to pass on the skills to the master, so as not to lose the family martial arts, and the result was that a lot of routines were passed on.
Now the master is in a hurry to go home, Zhang Yi is busy, and he also has to pass on all the skills to Zhang Yi. Fortunately, Zhang Yi's skills are profound, and his ability to imitate is strong, and he can follow it when he watches the master play it again, and the mystery of the technique in it can also be reflected.
