Chapter Seventy-Seven: Martial Arts (2)

Nangong Quan is the favorite chess player I have ever met, because he can skip meals and drink water or talk in order to play chess.

However, I don't dare to compliment his chess skills, strictly speaking, he can barely walk a few steps, and even a junior apprentice may not have played it.

We played three sets, so to speak, three games, except for the first game where I barely let him win me, and I couldn't really let him beat me in the next two games. So I'm a best-of-three and he's a best-of-three.

But he was very happy, and he was addicted to it. He also bragged vigorously, saying that I was his defeated subordinate.

We played three games, and in total, it took less than 20 minutes, which is probably the fastest game in the chess world.

But when we went downstairs to prepare for dinner, Nangong Qianlan didn't give me a good look, if everyone wasn't there, she might have scolded me directly.

I only smiled bitterly, looked at the angry Nangong Qianlan, and didn't dare to speak.

Nangong Quan said loudly to Nangong Qianlan: "Qianlan, your boyfriend is amazing, except for being killed by me in the first game, he actually won me two games, a great young man." ”

Nangong Quan's words made Nangong Qianlan, who was already looking like a sinking water, even more angry, and couldn't help but kick me under the table.

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "You let me, otherwise, I will be miserable, and you will shave my head." ”

Nangong Quan laughed loudly, looking like a victor.

Nangong Jun whispered to me at this time: "The old man is very happy, I will help you mention that matter in a while, you have to be clever and act according to my eyes." ”

I nodded slightly, and I heard Nangong Jun say to Nangong Quan, who was still laughing: "Dad, what do you think of this person Jincang?" ”

Nangong Quan nodded: "Very good, Qianlan is very discerning......"

Nangong Jun immediately said: "Then you will accept Jincang as an apprentice!" ”

Nangong Quan nodded again: "Good ......" He stopped suddenly, and when he turned his head to look at Nangong Jun, Nangong Jun smiled and said: "Congratulations Dad, you have accepted a high apprentice!" ”

Nangong Quan wanted to say something, but Nangong Jun immediately winked at me and motioned for me to come forward and apprentice.

I hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Master is above, and I am bowed by my apprentice Jin Cang." "As I spoke, I wanted to kneel down and worship the teacher like in TV, but I felt that the whole person seemed to be trapped by something, and I couldn't worship at all.

Nangong Quan stared at me for a while before he said, "Child, even though you are the son-in-law of my Nangong family, you can also be regarded as a member of my Nangong family." But the ancestors of my Nangong family have last words, and they are not descendants of my Nangong family, and they are not allowed to learn the martial arts passed down from the family. So I ...... I can't take you as an apprentice. ”

I was stunned, and then glanced at Nangong Qianlan in disappointment, not knowing what to do.

Nangong Qianlan took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand to support her grandfather, and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandpa, we were framed and hunted down, and we came to beg you when we were cornered, you can teach him some self-defense skills for the sake of my face!" Moreover, I also want to learn some self-defense skills, otherwise I will always be bullied. ”

Nangong Quan sighed, looked at Nangong Qianlan and said, "Qianlan, it's not that I don't know what happened to you now, I heard your father say it last night." But...... You know, now that the patriarch of my Nangong family is not from our branch, the patriarch will not allow me to teach the Jincang martial arts. ”

Nangong Qianlan immediately said: "You are still the elder of the family, do you dare not listen to you?" ”

Nangong Quan frowned and said: "I still have to think about this matter, I can't hide it from the patriarch and collect the golden warehouse in private." In this way, I will go to the patriarch to talk to it, and if the patriarch agrees, I will immediately start teaching Jincang and Qianlan martial arts. ”

Several of us were overjoyed, and we felt that there was hope for this. So Nangong Jun immediately said: "I'll go drive and send you to see the patriarch." ”

Nangong Quan hesitated for a moment and did not stop Nangong Jun who went to drive. Nangong Jun only has one daughter, Nangong Qianlan, and he has always regarded it as a treasure, this time Nangong Qianlan was framed and imprisoned, he was very angry, and he couldn't wait to go to the person who framed Nangong Qianlan to settle the score. So in the matter of trying to win kung fu between me and Nangong Qianlan, he worked extra hard.

As soon as Nangong Quan and Nangong Jun's father and son left, Kong Lin'er said happily: "Great, Qianlan, your grandfather has arrived." Hurry up and make a pot of tea. ”

Nangong Qianlan hurriedly got up and prepared to make tea. When I stood up and looked out, I saw an old man with a hunchback coming into the house.

Kong Lin'er stepped forward to help the old man, and said happily: "Dad, you are finally here, I thought you wouldn't come!" ”

The old man smiled and was very kind: "My granddaughter and grandson-in-law have come home, how can I not come?" ”

I hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said loudly, "Hello grandpa, my name is Jincang." ”

The old man smiled: "My ears are very good, I don't need to make such a loud sound." My name is Kongshou, the 'guard' of 'guarding', young man, you are my grandson-in-law. Well, let me see if I'm worthy of my granddaughter. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Do you know how to look?" ”

The empty guard laughed: "Humor! Very good, worthy of the person I fancy when I play granddaughter. Young man, I heard you say you want to learn kung fu, is it true? ”

I got excited and said gratefully, "Really." I'd love to learn Kung Fu, are you going to teach me a move and a half? ”

Kongshou laughed again, turned to look at Nangong Qianlan, who came over with a cup of tea, and said, "There are three conditions for worshipping me as a teacher. If you do it, I will take you as an apprentice, and if you can't do it, it will only mean that we have no chance. It's like my granddaughter Qianlan, she didn't pass my test, so she couldn't learn my kung fu. ”

Nangong Qianlan nodded and said, "Grandpa is biased, deliberately embarrassed me, and doesn't teach me kung fu." ”

I was a little nervous, and secretly thought: Can I pass the test that even Nangong Qianlan, who has learned some kung fu, can't pass? But he still asked, "What test do you want me to pass?" I hadn't studied kung fu, and if I had to compete with anyone, I wouldn't have any hope at all. ”

Kongshou shook his head and said with a smile: "I know you haven't studied kung fu, how can you test your kung fu cultivation?" My test is very simple, you come one by one in a while, and if you pass, I will immediately take you as an apprentice. ”

I was overjoyed, and I didn't care about other people's opinions, so I hurriedly said, "Then let's start quickly, I can't wait." ”

Nangong Qianlan said on the side: "Grandpa hates immature people the most, don't be like this." ”

I smiled: "I'm so excited, you know, I've dreamed of learning kung fu since I was a child, but I haven't had the chance." Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, it's inevitable to get excited. ”

Kongshou took the tea in Nangong Qianlan's hand, tasted it carefully, said "good tea", and then said: "Jincang, how many bowls of rice can you eat at one meal?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "When I'm hungry, I can eat four bowls of rice at a time." ”

Kongshou nodded, and then said, "Then I want you to eat five bowls of rice at a time now, can you do it?" ”

I frowned and said, "Unless you deliberately prolong the time, I won't be able to eat it." I didn't understand what Kumaru meant by asking this, but I answered him truthfully.

Kongshou nodded again, and then said, "Then if you really eat five bowls of rice, and I want you to eat another bowl, what will you do?" ”

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and I had the heart to say that I wouldn't eat it, but I was afraid that this would be a test for me, so I hesitated for a while.

At this time, the empty guard said again: "This question is very simple, do you have to think about it for a long time?" ”

I made up my mind and said, "I won't eat anymore because I can't stand it anymore, and if I eat it again, there will be problems." ”

Empty-handed smiled: "Good." Stretch out your hands, both hands. ”

I obediently stretched out my hands, a little puzzled: can I really look at the face? Or palmistry?

I lost my mind, and the air guard immediately took action, and he actually "snapped" and slapped my palms on both hands. The empty guard shot too fast, and I instinctively withdrew my hand, but I still couldn't dodge, so I said suspiciously, "What are you hitting me for?" I ......"

Kongshou smiled: "Very good, quick response." When you lose your mind, you can still have such a reaction, which is much faster than Qianlanke. ”

I was stunned, then remembered that this might be a test for me, so I didn't say anything more.

At this time, the empty guard slowly became serious, looked into my eyes and said: "The following questions of mine, you must answer me truthfully, you can't hide the slightest, can you do it?" ”

I nodded: "You ask, I don't lie." After a pause, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem, and hurriedly added: "But those state secrets, I will never say them, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

The air guard nodded slightly, and shouted, "Are you a soldier now?" ”

I immediately replied, "No!" I am now a prisoner. ”

"Were you a student before you became a soldier?"

"Yes!"

"Are you a descendant of Wudang?"

"It's not!"

"Have you ever learned kung fu?"

"Nope!"

"Did you already know who I am?"

"It's not."

"Do you want to kill people with kung fu?"

This time I hesitated, but the air guard immediately shouted, "Answer me! ”

I immediately replied loudly: "No, I don't want to kill, I just want to protect myself and my relatives and friends around me." ”

Somoru laughed, and finally said, "Very well, you answered me with little hesitation, I can see that you are not lying. ”

I was stunned: "Is the test over?" This...... So am I qualified? ”

The empty guard smiled: "Wait for me to examine you for another three days, and after three days, I will tell you my decision." ”

I was overjoyed and thought victory was in sight. Nangong Qianlan on the side whispered: "I was also denied by my grandfather during the three-day inspection period last time, you have to be careful these days, but don't offend my grandfather." ”

Kongshou smiled: "Qianlan, don't talk bad about me behind my back, scare away my apprentice, I will settle accounts with you." ”

Nangong Qianlan smiled and said coldly: "It's a big deal, I'll make you a few more pots of tea, and it's not a big deal." ”

Kongshou smiled, reached out and touched Nangong Qianlan's head, and said, "Qianlan still has to be happy, smile more." As the saying goes, if you smile for ten years, you won't get old if you laugh often, just like your grandfather and me. Don't keep a straight face, beware that people won't like you. ”

Nangong Qianlan glanced at me when she heard this, and said, "He won't, I believe him." Grandpa, let's have breakfast first, you came all the way, you should still be hungry, right? ”

The empty guard nodded, and as he walked towards the restaurant, he said, "Will you come with me for a few laps in a while?" I haven't enjoyed it for a long time, and this hand has been itching for a long time. ”

Nangong Qianlan glanced at me and said, "If you are willing to accept Jincang as an apprentice, I will accompany you to fight all day, how about it?" ”

Kongshou laughed: "This is not good, playing mahjong and accepting apprentices cannot be confused, this is a matter of principle." ”

Nangong Qianlan frowned and said, "Then you can find someone else to accompany you, we don't have time, we have to go to the master to learn art." ”

Kongshou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Okay, you Qianlan girl, even my grandfather dares to calculate!" Anyway, I violated the principle once today, no matter whether Jin Cang can become my disciple or not, I will teach him a way to save his life. What do you think? ”

Nangong Qianlan was overjoyed, and immediately said: "A word is a decision, I will go and prepare the mahjong table." ”

Kongshou looked at Nangong Qianlan, who ran away under great joy, and said with a smile: "The female eldest is not staying, and she is always right." Jin Cang, you have to be kind to my family Qianlan in the future, you look at her, she only cares about fighting for your interests, and even forgets about herself. ”

I am secretly grateful in my heart, but I can't really do anything with Nangong Qianlan. We're just pretending to be a couple, so we can only try to help her in the future and make up for her.

The empty guard was in a hurry to play cards, and he didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't care about my reaction, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, apparently to find a mahjong room.

Nangong Qianlan's house is very spacious, with all kinds of rooms, which are used to play cards, chess, or play soldier ball, billiards and the like. At first glance, it is a family that can enjoy it very much.

I slowly found the mahjong room, and saw that Nangong Qianlan had already accompanied her grandfather to start preparing for the start. Nangong Qianlan's mother was also brought to accompany her. Because I can't play mahjong, Nangong Qianlan wants to teach me, so there is a lack of someone.

The empty guard was in a hurry, and he didn't let go of Xiao Li who brought the tea, so Xiao Li had to put down the work in his hand and play a few games first.

Xiao Li muttered that he had no money and didn't want to go, so Kong Lin'er immediately gave Xiao Li a few big red bills, and said very generously: "Take it and play, win or lose, the most important thing today is to accompany Grandpa Qianlan." ”

I also cried and said to Nangong Qianlan: "I don't have any money, how can I fight this?" Why don't you lend me some money and pay you back? ”

Nangong Qianlan glared at me, took out a few big tickets for me, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and shuffle the cards." ”

I was at a loss, I had never played mahjong before, how do I know how to do it? Fortunately, Xiao Li said in time: "This is an automatic mahjong machine, no need to shuffle the cards." ”

As Xiao Li spoke, he turned on the automatic mahjong machine with his own hands, and after a while, neat and tidy cards appeared in front of us.

It's true that I don't know how to play, so it's basically Nangong Qianlan who is playing for me. I'm just a puppet sitting in a seat, and I basically don't even have the right to speak, like a wooden man.

However, my luck seems to be very good, and after only three cards were played at the beginning, Nangong Qianlan said: "**, Hu." ”

I was still in a daze, Nangong Qianlan had already unceremoniously reached out to her grandfather and mother to ask for money. I heard Nangong Qianlan say: "Give money, we are all the same." ”

The first one didn't believe it, so he had to look at the cards in front of me before giving money. Even Kong Lin'er didn't believe it, but she still gave the money very consciously. Xiao Li won't suspect anything, he is a game maker anyway, and the money is also taken out by the owner's family, as long as he hears that someone has won, he will immediately give the money.

We played a circle, and I basically knew the rules, but it was still Nangong Qianlan who was in charge, and I just watched. I don't know if it's the same as what the air shou said.,The more people who can't play cards, the better.,After a lap.,I actually won a lot of money.。

Xiao Li was the first to lose everything, and his master Kong Lin'er took the initiative to give him some money so that he could continue playing.

While muttering "back fire", the empty guard still kept touching the cards, and then kept taking out money for me and Nangong Qianlan. Because he always "fires", Nangong Qianlan and I won money.

Kong Lin'er is a situation where she didn't lose or win, but I think she is trying to make his father happy, and she doesn't play any cards, so that's why it's like this.

The game is the most time-consuming, and before you know it, the time is already noon. I didn't eat breakfast, and I was already hungry and panicked. But seeing that the empty guard was still excited, he seemed to have forgotten about eating.

Nangong Qianlan was also hungry, and quietly left the mahjong room, not knowing if she went to steal food. I just secretly complained, as soon as Nangong Qianlan left, I, a half-, directly ordered three shots in a row and lost a lot of money.

I don't really care about losing money, anyway, I just won, and if I lose, I will lose, so I will return it to them. But I'm really hungry, and I really want to say goodbye and go down to eat. If it weren't for the excitement of the air guard, I wouldn't dare to spoil his fun, and I would have stopped fighting a long time ago.

Just when I was fainting from hunger, Nangong Qianlan finally came up. She actually held five lunch boxes in her hands, which were five boxes of lunches. I don't know how she got these boxed lunches for so long.

So we ate and played at the same time, so that we could eat and entertain at the same time.

This time, with Nangong Qianlan's support, I didn't fire any more indiscriminately, and once again won back the money I lost.

provoked the empty guard to shout: "Qianlan is a spy, causing me to lose money again." ”

Nangong Qianlan said: "We are a family, of course we want to beat you together." If Grandpa is not convinced, we can change the game, and if we win, you will pay double the money. If we lose, we'll pay you both the money. How about it, grandpa, do you dare? ”

The empty guard shouted loudly, and the stakes were almost doubled. So when we lit the air guard, the air guard shouted "win, win, win", but we didn't know that he had lost a lot of money before, and even if this one won him back, he still lost a lot of money in general.

Our price increase made Xiao Li lose again. When Kong Lin'er gave him money for the third time, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You have to come on, it's only three things, you can't lose it anymore!" ”

Xiao Li was a little nervous, the money given by the master's family was also money, he didn't dare to mess around, he played carefully, for fear that he would lose again.

I secretly sighed that rich people and people without money are different. Those who have money will have confidence in doing things, and those who have no money will have difficulty in having confidence.

I thought again: I came to learn martial arts, but I ended up playing mahjong here, which seems to be two completely unrelated things, but they are connected by life. And Nangong Qianlan's grandfather hasn't come over for so long, so it seems that there is no hope, so I can only grit my teeth and accompany my cheap grandfather who is addicted to gambling to fight down. After all, he might take me as an apprentice and teach me some legendary kung fu.

I am actually really unable to protect myself now, and I urgently need some means of self-protection to save my net worth. Not to mention those enemy forces or organizations that still want to get information about genetic medicine from me, Wang Yingzu alone is not what I can compete with now. I am safe for the time being by relying on Nangong Qianlan now, but I know very well that once I leave the Nangong family and lose their protection, I may not survive for more than an hour.

After all, whether it is those enemy forces or organizations, or Wang Yingzu, it is easy to kill me.

Looking at the person in front of me for a card or surprise or exclamation, my mind can't help but fly into the distance. I think of my parents, but also of my relatives and friends. I suddenly remembered a lot of things, as if my memory had completely recovered all of a sudden.

I thought of Sun Heng who had lost his trace, Li Huanhuan who shared life and death with me, my sister Dongfang Yu, and Bai Feng, Du Yifei and others who went to the capital with me. And those friends who have helped me and have always been inseparable from me have also emerged from my mind one by one.

I felt an unprecedented mood, and my life and soul seemed to be sublimated in this moment. I was a little excited, a little sad, a little lost, and a little lost...... Before I knew it, I was lost, as if my soul had gradually left me, and all that was left was an empty body......
