Listening to the fat master's serious nonsense, Ah Jiu wanted to laugh and cry. Of course, he knows what is going on. That was when "The Legend of the New White Lady" was broadcast, and he and his brothers said bad things about the master behind his back, saying that he was like Fahai, and he didn't want to hear it to him, and the name Fahai fell on his head within two days. Obviously, he was careful with his apprentice, and he could still pull out such a big set. But now, as long as he thought that he might never hear the fat master's gossip at any time, Ah Jiu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, how could he still talk back to him.

"Apprentice remember."

"Apprentice, don't do this." The fat master smiled and said, "On September 9 this year, I only called you back, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know."

The fat master was silent, his eyes drifted to the distant mountains, as if he was reminiscing about the past, his eyes were deep, the vicissitudes of life changed, and it had been a hundred years.

"Since your thin master told you about him, I can't be left behind as a monk, so let's do it, I'll also tell you about me, so that you don't have to guess if I'm dead."

"I was born in a wealthy family, my family is Caoyun, my father and uncle are the masters of the Cao Gang, and they are considered to be people in the rivers and lakes, and they all have kung fu. I was born in this environment, and I was very obsessed with martial arts since I was a child. When my uncle came to visit, I always pestered them to teach me kung fu, and as soon as I was able to teach my talent, they would be more willing to teach me. Over time, the reputation spread, I was also young at that time, I thought that I could do kung fu, and I didn't know how to restrain myself, although I couldn't call it arrogant, but whoever came to challenge, I also didn't refuse to come, and injured many people. ”

"At that time, the people in the rivers and lakes took the Yangtze River as the boundary and divided the north and south. The north is respected by the Baji Gate, and the Baji Boxing is extremely strong. And it is easy to learn and practice, and there are many disciples. There is a guy who is the adopted son of the master of the Eight Pole Gate, and he is about the same age as me. He came to Cao Gang to do business, and when he heard about my name, he wanted to fight me. I saw that he was arrogant. I had the intention to teach him a lesson, and I tried my best when I shot, but I didn't expect to beat him to death by a mistake. ”

"Although my family is a Cao Gang, they are only the hall masters, and they can't compare with the Baji Gate. In order not to cause trouble for my family, I ran away all night. ”

"I've become an idiot in martial arts, and I've long wanted to go out for a while, and when I get this opportunity, I can go rightfully. Not only was he not depressed, but he was happy. In the past two years, I have been non-stop, traveled all over the famous mountains of Wuyue, the ten major sects, unscrupulous means, exhausted all kinds of methods, and secretly learned a lot of kung fu. Looking back on it now, it was the most enjoyable time of my life. ”

"But it didn't last long. The imperial court ordered the abolition of the governor of Caoyun, because the British ships came in and were afraid that we would steal business. The brothers of the Cao Gang were not convinced, and there were many fights with these foreign miscellaneous hairs. My uncle died tragically, my father was seriously injured, and I rushed back when I got the news. I only had time to see my father for the last time. ”

The fat master sighed and said, "After taking care of the funeral, I handed over my home to my second brother and was determined to take revenge. At that time, there was a Boxer Rebellion, and I heard that they were beating foreigners. So I went. At first, they burned down a lot of churches and killed a few foreigners, but then I found out that this group of people was harming more people. I was ashamed to be with them, and I left again. ”

"After a few years, new armies began to be formed in various parts of the country to overthrow the imperial court. At that time, I thought, this broken court is nothing good, foreigners are all and pee on our territory, and they don't even let out a fart. It just so happened that I didn't have anywhere to go, so I wanted to do it with them. I am a member of the Cao Gang, although the Cao Gang has declined, but the Green Gang formed by some people has been smooth sailing. Through an old time, I joined an organization led by a Hongmen kid and served as his bodyguard for several years. ”

Ah Jiu probably guessed who it was, but he didn't speak, waiting for the master to continue.

"This person...... "The fat master smacked his mouth and said, "He can be called a righteous man with lofty ideals, I admire him very much." But there is only one thing, which I am very uncomfortable with. His private life is not very scrupulous, I advised him many times, the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, not too greedy for women, but he never listened to me, and then I was angry and stopped serving him! ”

"Soon the warlord melee began, everyone you beat me, I beat you, and fought for many years. Helping anyone is beating their own people, I am very angry, but I can't control it, I feel quite helpless, at that time I was already over the age of sixties, I don't know how many years I can live, so I went to Wudang Mountain to become a Taoist monk, I didn't expect to live for five years and still alive, I couldn't stay anymore, so I came out and walked around again. ”

"The world has changed dramatically since he came out. The warlords have long since stopped fighting, and the Japanese have come in. I am too old to be of great use, but I still want to do my best, so I took in two apprentices in the Green Gang and taught them for a few years, hoping that they can have a good time and serve the country by killing the enemy for their master. ”

"By the time the Japanese were defeated, I was nearly eighty years old, and my family was gone, dying of epidemics, of war, and not a single one was left. I'm the only one left, and my life is getting more and more boring. Suddenly, one day, I wanted to die, but I had one wish that could not be fulfilled. I have practiced martial arts all my life, and all the sects have learned it, and some of these sects have broken the incense, if I die, won't these kung fu be lost? ”

"I was thinking about finding someone to inherit my mantle, and before I could find it, I met your thin master. He was in his forties back then, although he had some foundation, but his roots were not good, and he had to start practicing martial arts from a young age, and he was also past his age. I thought at the time, if I couldn't find the apprentice and die first, someone would have to bury me, so I took the apprentice on behalf of the teacher and became a brother with him, but I didn't expect that seventy years would pass in a moment. ”

"In order to lay a good foundation for my good apprentice, I came to Shaolin Temple and wanted to borrow the marrow washing scripture to see, but I didn't expect to meet a guy who was older than me and lost to him......" The fat master smiled bitterly: "I recognized a master at the age of eighty, it's really embarrassing to think about it." ”

Ah Jiu didn't smile, he finally understood the master's good intentions, walking the rivers and lakes for many years, the fat master didn't have no other internal strength to build a foundation for him, and the old monk was not necessarily much better than him, but in order to get the best, he still worshipped someone else as a teacher at the age of eighty, and this kindness is heavier than the mountain.

"Good apprentices are so easy to find, after the change of dynasty, my eldest apprentice found me and asked me to teach a few more apprentices, just as I also wanted to find a few good seedlings, so I told him, find me some bitter children, so many people died in the war, and it is also a blessing for me to be able to help one."

"The first time I accepted four apprentices, there was no one I could close my eyes, and the second time I accepted eight apprentices, although each has its own strengths, but the roots and bones still do not meet the standards I want. By the time I'm one hundred and twenty years old, I really don't feel like I'm alive. At that time, my eldest apprentice was already dead, and the second apprentice was still alive, and I told him that I was going to die, and the second apprentice had no choice, so he went to help me find an apprentice, and finally sent your father here. ”

"Your dad's bones are only slightly worse than yours, much better than mine. I am very comforted by this good disciple. But I didn't expect your dad to ......" The fat master choked up and couldn't go on.

"When I heard the bad news, I was exhausted and wanted to die again." The fat master sighed and said, "Apprentice, it's not that the master likes to look for short-sightedness. In fact, this person is not a blessing to live too long, the people you know, relatives, friends, all died, and you are the only one left, and there is no meaning at all in living. ”

"At this time, you were born, and your mother brought you up to nine months, and she sent you over. I have no choice but to raise you without dying. ”

"Now that you're grown up and can be on your own, I'm glad that your brother Longgen often tells me about what you've done. Have the heart to live two more years and watch you start a family. But the heavens don't follow people's wishes, I can't die when I want to die, and I can't die when I want to live...... I can't live either. ”

"Master......"

Ah Jiu lay on the ground, crying silently.

"The book I gave you is the secret of Wudang, called "Hug Puzi", it is said that you can have a son after practice, and I don't know if you have practiced it. You kid, let you bring a daughter-in-law back to see me, you don't have the ability to do this...... Look, I can't see it. ”

Ah Jiu felt that the fat master's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and his heartache was like a knife, if he knew that this was the case, he would definitely tie up a daughter-in-law even if he tied it up!

"Apprentice," the fat master's breath became weaker: "Master's mantle will be handed over to you, I can have an apprentice like you, this life is enough." ”

"Master......"

"Go, go to my room...... There's a mahogany box in the bookcase, and it's the contact information of your brothers, go get it. ”

"Yes, Master, you wait, I'll be back soon, I'll be back right away."

Ah Jiu got up, wiped away his tears, and ran wildly towards the fat master's meditation room, when suddenly he stopped, because there was no sound behind him.

"Master......"

"Master!!"

"Ahh

Ah Jiu howled hoarsely, tears blurring his vision for some time. (To be continued.) )
