Although the black bear let us go, the old dog and the tiger were worried that Da Kui would send someone to retaliate, and they couldn't go out anyway, so they stayed in the prison room with me, reciting those prison rules with a bitter face, and at the same time protecting me.

In some inexplicable thought, I didn't mention the stones on the bed board to them, but after lying down for a long time, I felt uncomfortable, and finally I simply leaned on my side, and my arms were pressed very numb, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, why did I suffer.

In this way, until noon, the bell rang again, and this time we knew that the meal had arrived, and Dashan's lunch box was still with us, so I said to Lao Gou and Huzi: "You two go to the canteen to eat first, and by the way, bring the lunch box to Dashan." ”

The two nodded, picked up the lunch box and were about to go out, but Huzi stopped and looked at me with some concern: "Boss, we are all leaving, you stay here alone, there will be no danger, right?" ”

I understood what Huzi meant, he was afraid that Da Kui would send someone to retaliate against me, so he smiled indifferently and explained: "It's okay, there are guards outside, Da Kui is a thorn at most, he definitely doesn't have the courage to beat people in front of the guards, you guys go quickly!" ”

After they left, I lay down for a while, and suddenly wanted to smoke, and the cigarette was pressed under the old dog's pillow, and I felt that I was almost recovered, so I tried to get out of bed.

When I just lifted the old dog's pillow, there was a sudden sound of opening the door behind me, I thought it was the old dog and Huzi coming back, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Old dog, Huzi, didn't I say that I was fine, why are you back again?" ”

When the words fell, I suddenly closed my mouth, there was no response behind me, and my heart immediately chuckled, isn't it the old dog and the tiger?

At this time, the cigarette happened to be exposed, and what I was most worried about was that the person who came was the guard, so I hurriedly grabbed the pillow and put it back in a very dissatisfied tone: "The old dog is really, he doesn't make his bed after getting up, and it's a mess." ”

As I spoke, I pressed the cigarette with a pillow and patted the old dog's sheets, only to turn around and be surprised to find that the person who came was not the caretaker I had imagined, but the strange old man from before.

When the old man saw that I looked surprised, he actually smirked, and he also stretched out his hand to point to the old dog's bed, and shouted while sniffing: "Okay, there's a big smoke here!" ”

The old man's voice was very loud, and I was anxious when I heard it, and at this time, regardless of whether he was really stupid or fake, I hurriedly ran two steps up to block his mouth, and at the same time lowered my voice and shouted: "What to shout, be careful to be heard by the guard!" ”

"Woo!" The old man had a lot of strength, but at this time, as if under some spell, he actually stood there motionless, and let me cover his mouth without resistance, and made a whining sound, and looked at me with his eyes full of horror.

I looked at the wrinkles on the old man's face and the white hair on his sideburns, only to realize that he was already in his last years, and my heart suddenly felt a little unbearable, so I quickly let go of my hand, sighed helplessly, and was afraid that he would shout again, so I could only pretend to be fierce, pointed to his nose and said: "Don't shout anymore, tell you, Lao Tzu has also practiced martial arts." ”

The old man was already very frightened, but after I said this, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he was caught in a memory, and after a few seconds, his eyes suddenly burst into two fine lights, and his expression returned to normal, and he was no longer so demented.

I was startled, blinked, looked closely, and found that the old man's eyes had only become a little more energetic, and there was no light flashing, so I was relieved.

Now, the old man looked like a normal old man, but his eyes were very bright, and after looking me up and down a few times, he suddenly nodded with satisfaction and smiled at me: "Young man, what kung fu have you practiced?" ”

"What?" This time the old man's tone was very normal, like a kind old man talking to his juniors, I had already subconsciously regarded him as a mental patient, and now he suddenly returned to normal, and he couldn't accept it, so he immediately stayed there, and asked stupidly, if outsiders saw it, I am afraid they would think that I was a mental patient.

"Haha!" When the old man saw me standing dumbfounded, he couldn't help laughing again, and the next moment his figure suddenly flashed, and he had already swept past me and ran directly to the old dog's bed.

When I turned around, the jade stream had already appeared in the old man's hand, and he took out a box of cigarettes directly from it, skillfully took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and went to find a lighter.

The lighter was taken away by the old dog and the tiger, the old man naturally couldn't find it, he spent a long time, and finally realized that there was no lighter here, and began to scratch his ears and cheeks, and his expression became very anxious, and he looked exactly the same as the old dog who was addicted to smoking.

Looking at the old man's appearance, I couldn't help but laugh and explained, "There is no fire here, you can wait a while." ”

The old man quieted down, stared at me for a while, and then turned over and fell directly to the ground, he smiled awkwardly at me, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, people are old, and their brains are a little insufficient." ”

I felt very strange, there was no lighter here, of course the old man couldn't find it, it had nothing to do with whether his brain was enough, but the next moment, I didn't have the time to think about it.

I saw that the old man slowly raised his right hand, pinched his thumb, index finger and middle finger together, and began to twist continuously, and slowly smoke came out.

After a while, a flame burst out from the three fingers that the old man had pinched, and he quickly took the cigarette butt in his mouth, reached over the flame, and took a hard breath.

Call! It was only after half a minute that the old man exhaled a puff of smoke and at the same time showed a satisfied expression, and the smoke hit my face, which actually hurt faintly, and at the same time brought me back to my senses.

Goo! I swallowed hard, thinking of the background that Xiao Zhang had said about this old man, my eyes widened, and I asked in a trembling voice, "You, do you really know how to spell?" ”

The old man shook his hand, and the fire ball on his fingertips also dissipated, and he smiled at me: "What spell, this is kung fu, don't you also practice?" ”

I do practice some miscellaneous kung fu, but that is also some miscellaneous moves, the purpose is also to defend myself or fight with people, not to mention that I can't compare with real martial arts masters, even if there are three or two strong men, I can't beat them.

Thinking about his little three-legged cat kung fu, and then comparing it with the trick that the old man just performed, it was not at the same level at all, at this time I had already decided that the other party was a master of the world, and immediately smiled in an extremely respectful tone: "Hehe, I was bragging just now, you are the real kung fu." ”

"Hmm!" The old man nodded with satisfaction, took another puff of his cigarette, and smiled at me with an expression of enjoyment on his face: "It's quite a bit of eyesight, and the children can be taught!" ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart, the old man's hand just now was simply a spell, and anyone who saw it would immediately realize that he was not an ordinary person, and this had nothing to do with eyesight at all.

However, since the old man was praising me, I didn't need to explain anything, I just continued to smile and said: "Hehe, in front of your old man, what kind of eyesight do I dare to mention, I don't know what kind of famous trick you just made is called?" ”

The old man tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said in distress: "It's just some useless little tricks, I can't think of it!" ”

A master is a master! Seeing the old man's indifferent look, I couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up, this is the real master of the world, the miraculous stunt in front of me, but in the eyes of others, it is just a trick, but then again, he must have a lot of more powerful kung fu.

I saw that the old man seemed to be in a good mood, so I asked tentatively: "This, senior, judging from the hand just now, you must be a top master, right?" ”

The old man glanced at me with a strange expression, and suddenly sneered: "Haha, the top master, I'm far from it, at most I'm a practitioner!" ”

I opened my mouth wide in surprise, and before I could speak, the old man suddenly changed his words: "However, now that the national arts are weak, compared with you juniors, the old man is worthy of the four words of the top master." ”

I hurriedly smiled and said: "Of course, with your old methods, if there are still rivers and lakes now, you will definitely be able to become the leader of the martial arts alliance!" ”

The old man smiled, looked at me carefully, and then sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that science is in charge now, no matter how good the martial arts are, it's useless, and I can't control my mind, otherwise I will find a suitable person to inherit my mantle." ”

When I heard this, my heart moved, and I thought of the stones under the bed, and I couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what do you think of me?" ”

The old man nodded: "Yes, it is considered to be a bone surprise with good qualifications, although the meridians are a little solid, it is not impossible to get through." ”

Meridians? I suspect I heard it wrong, I used to be obsessed with martial arts, but I had fantasies about it, and I asked someone about it, only to know that those were just fiction, and they didn't exist in reality.

However, since the old man said so, there must be a reason for him, didn't you see that he could rub out the fire ball with his fingers just now? Can it be done without the help of True Qi?

My curiosity was immediately aroused, and I hurriedly said, "Really? I'm actually a martial arts wizard, so can I worship you as a teacher? ”

The old man pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Okay, it's fate that the two of us can meet here, I see that your temperament is not bad, so I will accept you as an apprentice." ”

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" I knelt down excitedly, but was held up by the old man, and then no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move.

After trying a few times, I couldn't kneel down, so I had to stop and look at the old man suspiciously, but the latter shook his head and said, "I have the heart to teach you, but I won't accept you as an official disciple, I can only be regarded as a registered apprentice, so you don't have to bow to me!" ”

Named disciple? It must be different from the treatment of formal disciples, and maybe I can't learn the old man's true kung fu, so I asked a little anxiously, "Why?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly, pointed to his head, and said: "I have a problem here, I don't know when I will go crazy, this also has something to do with the fact that I practice martial arts too much, of course I don't want to teach a little madman, so I can only pick one kung fu to pass on to you, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to teach, do you still want to apprentice?" ”

I hesitated for a while, and I was worried that I would become like an old man, but when I thought of those magical kung fu, I simply turned my heart sideways and said to the old man: "I have made up my mind for you, Master, since I can't kneel, I'll bow to you three times!" ”

After speaking, I bowed to the old man seriously, this time the old man did not stop, until I bowed three times, he smiled with relief, patted my shoulder, and pointed to my bed, and said: "Apprentice, we practice internal kung fu, pay attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, and resist strength with qi, only when the foundation of internal strength is laid first, can you start to practice those moves, and you should have found the stones on the bed board, right?" ”

I nodded, and the old man continued: "Well, in the future, you will lie flat on that bed every night to sleep, try to keep your mind peaceful, don't have any miscellaneous thoughts, until you fall asleep, and persist in this way for half a month, under the stimulation of those stones, your meridians will probably be almost regulated." ”

It's that simple? I originally thought that the old man was going to teach me some internal skills, but I didn't expect that he would just let me go to sleep, who wouldn't be able to sleep, so I couldn't help but ask, "Master, this is also, this is too simple, right?" ”

The old man laughed: "In vain, don't take everything for granted, don't look at what I let you do sounds simple, but it's not easy to really do, you have to be fully mentally prepared, otherwise it's easy to give up halfway." ”
