Chapter 05: Mythology
The yelling caused the sideways glances of the people around him, and Ah Jiu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned, took a deep breath, opened the car door and sat in, and left the river as if he had escaped.
Memories gradually came to mind, it was ten years ago, when Ah Jiu had just become 'Lao Jiu', the fat master called him to the meditation room.
β¦β¦
"Jiu'er, Master has nothing left to teach you, there are three thousand avenues, and mortals can only choose one. You build the foundation with the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and the "Yijin Sutra" boils the bones, with your qualifications, after the age of forty, no one in this river and lake is your opponent. β
"More powerful than Master?"
The fat master smiled slightly: "If I die at that time, you will be better than me, if I don't die, how can you be better than me, you have only practiced for a few years." β
"Bah ......"
"Apprentice," the fat master raised his hand and patted Ah Jiu's head: "The world's martial arts are all the way in the end, do you remember the story that the master told you when you were a child?"
"Remember, you said: There was a god in the ancient wilderness, and one of the guys named Gonggong knocked down Buzhou Mountain, and a big hole came out of the sky. Although it was made up by Nuwa Niangniang, there are still gaps, the aura of heaven and earth emerges along that gap, less and less, and it is becoming more and more difficult for people to cultivate, there is a list of gods in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the last wave of cultivators become gods, and then they can only become immortals, and it is already very difficult to become immortals in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. β
The fat master bowed slightly: "That's right." β
Ah Jiu was puzzled: "But Master, isn't this a myth?"
The fat master nodded and said, "It's indeed a myth, but one thing is true, from ancient times to modern times, people's bodies are getting weaker and weaker. β
"Historical Records: Qin Benji" records. King Wu of Qin can lift the tripod, the ancient system, the tripod, two thousand five hundred catties. Can you lift 2,500 pounds?"
"The ancients were stubborn and stubborn, and the armor and weapons were more than a hundred catties, and now you are allowed to carry a hundred catties. Can you run thousands of miles and attack the city?"
"Although there are exaggerated elements in the history books, it is undeniable that the best of the ancients are more powerful than the people of today. Especially those who practice martial arts, far beyond modern people. β
"Throughout the ages, generation after generation, countless people have had similar doubts, but they can't explain them. That's why I rely on myths and want to comfort myself in this way. The fat master sighed and said, "I'm the same, I've thought about this question for half my life, but I haven't found anything." β
Ah Jiu frowned: "Master, are you a little old and confused, chattering all day long." β
The fat master raised his eyebrows and raised his palm to slap Ah Jiu: "The Buddha also has angry eyes. Look at me if I don't fix you little rabbit cub today!"
β¦β¦
The phone rang, and Ah Jiu woke up from his memories. Picked up the phone.
"Brother, what are you doing?" IU's sweet and greasy voice came from the phone, Ah Jiu couldn't help but show a smile, I hadn't seen this girl for a few days, and I really missed her in my heart. But he didn't show it, pretending to be cold. "On the way home, what?"
"Brother......" IU played tricks and said coquettishly: "You don't even want me, the concert is over, and you don't call me." Don't you want me to go back? β
"Hmm...... Somewhat. β
"Huh?" IU puffed up, slapped the travel bag that had been packed next to him, and hummed, "Then I won't go back!"
Ah Jiu laughed: "Send me the address, and I'll pick you up." β
"Really?" IU also smiled: "I know that my brother is the best, I'll send it to you with Line in a while..."
"Don't," Ah Jiu interrupted IU's words and said, "It turns out that the phone is broken, and the phone I use now can't receive messages from Line, so just send a text message." β
"Hmm... Okay, then hurry up and pick me up. β
"Good. β
β¦β¦
Hanging up the phone, Liu Renna began to make fun of IU: "Ah, I can't wait, why do you still say, 'Then I won't go back', what if people really don't come to pick you up? β
"Shame," IU pursed her lips and said cheekily, "Shame on me and go back, who made me like him." β
"Oops......" Liu Renna looked unbearable: "You are really, very good little girl, why are you so cheeky now?"
"Ernie~" IU hugged Liu Renna's arm and shook her coquettishly: "Don't talk about me like that, Ernie~~"
"Okay, let go of me, I'm out of breath......"
β¦β¦
βWelcomeοΌβ
I was making fun of IU just now, but when I heard the doorbell, Liu Renna reacted faster than IU, and ran over to open the door.
Ah Jiu was carrying a bag of fruits, a little embarrassed by Liu Renna's enthusiasm, and before he could speak, Liu Renna had already brought over the slippers, which were still a new pair of slippers: "I'll help you ......"
"No need, no ......" Ah Jiu hurriedly said in a loud voice, although he was served by Liu Renna and wore slippers once, but it was in his own home, and he was in a state of 'confusion', and now he was a guest, how could it be like this again, Ah Jiu hurriedly snatched the slippers and put them on himself.
"It's ...... Uh, buy the fruit, I don't know if you like it or not. Ah Jiu grinned and said, the first time he came to someone else's house, it was not good to be empty-handed, he still knew this bit of etiquette, this bag of fruit was bought in the supermarket downstairs, and it was not a special thing, Liu Renna was so enthusiastic that he was a little embarrassed.
As he spoke, IU had already come out with his travel bag, and when he saw Ah Jiu, he immediately showed a big smile, walked over and hugged his arm, and couldn't wait to say, "Brother, let's go." β
"IU!" Liu Renna said angrily: "This is my house, how can you not entertain the guests?" β
Stay...... Somehow, hearing these three words, Ah Jiu suddenly remembered the "Journey to the West" he had read when he was a child, and those female goblins and Tang Seng seemed to have this tone.
"No, no, it's not too early, let's go back first. Ah Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "While the directly-operated store is not closed, I want to take IU to bring the car out." β
IU also chimed in: "Mm-hmm, I have to pick up the car." β
When facing the 'enemy', it is an ally, and when there is no 'enemy', it is the 'enemy', and IU can clearly distinguish this.
"That's it......" Liu Renna glanced at IU and said regretfully: "Then next time you must try my craft." β
"It must be," Ah Jiu agreed, handed the fruit to Liu Renna, took the travel bag in IU's hand, quickly changed back into his shoes, and pulled his sister to 'escape' together. (To be continued.) )
