Chapter 107: A Chance Encounter at a Noodle Restaurant
Leaving the Lu Mansion, Huaxing walked all the way to the dormitory.
After walking a few steps, I felt a little hungry, so I found a noodle restaurant and sat in.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard a familiar voice shouting to him:
"Yo? Isn't this General Hua? You're going to eat noodles too, huh? ”
When I looked up, the person who spoke was about my early twenties, with a handsome face and a low voice, wearing a blue cloth coat, sitting alone at a square table, and it was Lu Bu's first fierce general, Zhang Liao.
"Hehe, it's General Zhang! Such a coincidence? Hua Xing smiled.
"It's a coincidence that you're here to eat, me...... It's not a coincidence! ”
Zhang Liao was very hospitable, and when he saw Huaxing entering, he immediately made room for the other party and invited Huaxing to the opposite side of him.
Later, he beckoned the boss to serve two more noodles and a few plates of side dishes, apparently wanting to entertain Huaxing well.
"As long as I don't go out to fight, I eat noodles here almost every day. Uncle Wang's lo mein is very good, you will know when you taste it. ”
After briefly introducing the characteristics of this noodle restaurant, I heard Zhang Liao suddenly ask:
"However, I didn't ask for alcohol, does General Hua drink alcohol on weekdays?"
"Oh, no! It is enough to eat lo mein. Huaxing shook his head and replied without thinking about it.
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Zhang Liao's face immediately showed surprise:
"General Hua is not good at drinking? Really? ”
"Well, under the sake of the drink in general. Of course, if General Zhang wants to drink, I'll accompany you! ”
Hearing what the other party said, Huaxing thought that Zhang Liao wanted to drink, so he immediately got up and prepared to go to the boss to get a pot of wine.
But as soon as he stood up, he was pulled back by Zhang Liao:
"No, no! General Hua misunderstood, in fact, Zhang ...... It's not good to drink either! On weekdays, as long as I eat by myself, I don't drink alcohol. ”
"Oh? General Zhang doesn't like to drink either? ”
Zhang Liao doesn't like to drink? It's the first time I've heard of Huaxing. It didn't take long for Hua Xing to ask again:
"At the celebration banquet a few days ago, I saw that General Zhang didn't drink less?"
"That's a celebration banquet specially set up by General Lu for you, how can I, Zhang Wenyuan, not drink it? Hehe, it's fun to have a few drinks once in a while. Just don't let me do it every day. ”
Speaking of this, I saw Zhang Liao clipping a green vegetable and putting it in his mouth, chewing and saying:
"I thought that I was the only one in the army who didn't like to drink, but I didn't expect that now there is another General Hua. Oh, that's good! In the future, the three of us can eat together often. ”
After chatting with Zhang Liao for a few more words, the lo noodles and side dishes were served on the table.
Not to mention, this Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is really good. After a few bites, a large bowl of lo mein was eaten by Huaxing.
In order to prevent Huaxing from not having enough to eat, Zhang Liao hurriedly asked Uncle Wang for two more bowls of noodles, and then returned to the chair to continue to talk with Huaxing:
"By the way, General Hua, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"Last time...... Earthquakes. Speaking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but feel that he lowered his voice.
"Oh? Any questions? ”
"Well, here's the problem...... Did you really summon the earthquake? ”
When questioning, Zhang Liao's eyes were full of doubts, and he forgot to close his mouth after asking, obviously not like he was joking.
Seeing this scene, Hua Xing immediately sat up straight, wiped the scum from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and nodded deeply:
"That's right! I have called it. ”
After listening to Huaxing's reply, Zhang Liao nodded thoughtfully, and a trace of inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he was very interested in this matter.
After pondering for about seven or eight seconds, I heard Zhang Liao ask for the second time:
"So, the legendary Qimen Dunjia technique...... It's all true? ”
"Of course it's true!"
In this matter, Huaxing had no choice, so he could only lie with a calm face:
"The world is so big, it's not surprising! Don't say it's an earthquake, as long as you understand the mystery, even if it's wind, rain, thunder and lightning, it's all under your control! ”
was fooled by Huaxing like this, and the young Zhang Liao immediately showed a yearning look.
The last bit of doubt that had just left on his face had vanished without a trace.
But after thinking for a while, Zhang Liao still held back his patience and did not immediately express his thoughts, but asked about another confusion in his heart:
"General Hua, then why didn't you just call a strong earthquake that day to raze the cottage to the ground? Wouldn't that be more convenient? ”
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Huaxing did not rush to answer, but said with a smile while picking vegetables:
"I don't know if General Zhang has ever heard a sentence called: It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things, and you can't be strong?"
This was said by Luo Guanzhong more than a thousand years later, if Zhang Liao knew it now, it would really be a ghost! Soon saw that Zhang Liao shook his head in confusion:
"Uh...... I don't know. ”
This means that things are done by people, but the final result depends on the sky. I want to summon a terrifying earthquake, but the sky is not beautiful, and I can't help it! ”
"Oh, so ...... You can only summon the earth, but you can't predict its strength or weakness? ”
"That's right! That's pretty much what it means. ”
"So how can you summon a more powerful earthquake?"
didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so "serious" on this issue, and Huaxing felt helpless.
But he couldn't help but answer, so he had to open his mouth and say:
"Well, that's hard to say. It depends on the time of day, the location, the stars, the way of the caster, and so on...... There are so many factors that you can't explain in a sentence or two. ”
Hua Xing said so complicated, the original intention was to let Zhang Liao stop asking.
But who knew that after hearing this, Zhang Liao not only did not mean to give up, but was even more interested!
After a short period of thought, I saw that he suddenly raised his head, licked his lips, and said with anticipation:
"General Hua, I don't know...... Can you teach me? ”
In fact, as early as a few days ago, at the reception banquet, I heard that Huaxing used the technique of Qimen Dunjia to summon an earthquake, Zhang Liao was shocked, but he was full of curiosity and interest in this technique, and he had the idea of studying.
happened to meet Huaxing today, and Zhang Liao first confirmed the "authenticity" of this matter with the other party.
After learning that Hua Xing did understand this technique, and after listening to the other party's lecture on the true power of this technique, Zhang Liao couldn't sit still anymore, and proposed to Hua Xing on the spot to apprentice.
As soon as these words came out, I saw Hua Xing holding the noodle bowl and coughing violently, almost spitting out a mouthful of noodles.
After an interval of more than ten seconds, he finally stopped coughing, and looked at Zhang Liao with a strange expression:
"Teach, teach? What do you teach? ”
"Of course, it's the art of Qimen Dunjia!"
Zhang Liao leaned a little closer as he spoke, squeezed out a smile and said:
"Hehe, General Hua won't be so stingy and refuse to teach me, right?"
