The old man saw at a glance that I was embarrassed, and said very unhappily, "Follow me to learn skills must start from these, I don't care what wild ways you learned before, now all of them are invalid." ”

"Yes, Master, but with so many books and a huge amount of reading, it is difficult for me to complete them in a week, so why don't you give me two months?" I stuck out two fingers and sneered.

"Bah." The old man spat at me fiercely, "If you want to give you two years, then you can get out of here as soon as possible." ”

"If you can't do this, you'll be killed by demons and monsters sooner or later."

I pulled the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, as for the old man cursing me so hard, I'm not too lazy to watch it, it's really too hard to bear such a large amount of reading, and I have to remember.

"Now you go to the back to take a shower first, and then perform the apprenticeship ceremony, and I'll tell you the details." As he spoke, the old man led me to a place at the back of the house that resembled a cow.

Obediently, this is a ventilated place on all sides, except for some straw that only reaches to the waist, there is no material to cover it, what is the difference between standing here and taking a bath in the middle of the road?

"Master, it's too unsightly to take a bath here, isn't it?" I said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, there won't be any female ghosts here, let alone girls, Mari will give me a bath." The old man placed a set of coarse cloth short-back trousers on a nearby pillar and left.

I shook my head in despair and walked into the cowshed-like bathhouse.

A minute later, I let out a scream like a pig.

The cold water on my body is extremely biting, although I am a man, but I have only washed my hair with cold water before, and it is the first time to take a bath.

And the water seems to be very special, as if it was fished out of a deep well in winter.

Unable to withstand the cold, I took a hasty shower, changed my clothes and walked out.

At this time, night had fallen, and the house in the middle was lit with special lamps, which were comparable to modern electric lights, and the lights were particularly soft and not dazzling at all.

The old man looked up at me and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's quite human-like, much better than you wear those bells and whistles." ”

"Really?" I looked down at myself in disbelief, but yes, people are handsome and look good in anything.

The old man beckoned me to sit down at the small square table, and I realized that there were three vegetarian dishes on the table, and there was not a single bit of meat.

The old man took out an earthy yellow ceramic wine bottle and poured me a glass of wine, which was also earthy yellow and had a particularly strong taste, and I couldn't help but sneeze a lot immediately after choking on my nose.

"Master, what kind of wine is this? Why does it taste so pungent? I asked, covering my nose.

"This is called soul-killing wine, if you drink it, you will be my apprentice." The old man raised his glass and said happily.

"And when is the apprenticeship taking place?" I looked at him with a frown.

"Fool, even if you drink wine, you will be apprenticed, is it possible that you still want me to get you a pomp and circumstance for the emperor to choose a concubine?"

I was stunned when the old man had already leaned over the cup and slammed it against mine.

The crisp sound made me wake up, and from this moment on, I, Zhang Hang, had completely "goodbye" to the past.

Those people flashed in my mind, and I quickly extinguished the faint sadness, and raised my head and took a long sip of wine.

"Wow......" I let out a duck's throat-like scream, and quickly put down the cup and fanned my mouth with both hands.

This wine is really going to be a life, the taste is hugely exciting, it is estimated that sulfuric acid plus mustard, and a little pesticide mixed together is not so unpleasant.

I even felt my entire esophagus burn, and after a few seconds even my soul began to flutter.

The old man opposite me took a sip of the wine glass, looked at me with an indifferent expression, and looked at me with a smile on his face, and his eyes were actually a little kind.

"Don't be so unproductive, you'll get used to it slowly." The old man gave me a little food and took a sip of wine.

I pinched my throat and said with difficulty, "Master, then I am your apprentice now?" ”

"Don't call me Master, I don't like this title, everyone else calls me You Lao, you can call me like this in the future!"

"You Lao?" I frowned slightly, this is a very chivalrous and slightly mysterious name.

Drinking wine and eating food, You Lao told me about the cause and effect.

He is the head of the 108th generation of exorcists, and their mission is to subdue the demons and monsters of the world and maintain world peace.

Originally, there was no big problem, and as long as it was passed down from generation to generation, it was possible to maintain a stable and peaceful state.

But he didn't expect his junior brother to rebel, join forces with the demons, and steal one of the ancestor demon orbs, causing chaos in the demon world, and the world is even more miserable.

It took a lot of effort on the part of the entire exorcist clan to calm down the situation.

But even so, the demon's huge conspiracy has begun, and this time they have carried out many evil plans by taking advantage of the time and space chaos, and the task of eradicating them is imminent.

And the reason why You Lao chose me is because I have a special physique, which is unique in ten thousand, plus I have a special origin in my past life and this life, although I am entangled by demons and nightmares, but in some ways it makes my potential stronger.

What I used to do with the Goblin Company and the Witcher Affairs, there was a part of the mission that I had to carry out, and it involved evil.

But You Lao could see that the sense of justice in my bones was still there, so he ruled out the criticism of the clansmen and decided to bring me over.

After the chaos of time and space, there will be some black and white reversal, good and evil are unknown, and many of the people and demons I have come into contact with before may reappear, and I need to discern their new identities.

It's a puzzle that requires IQ and emotional intelligence, and if I make a mistake in judgment, I could be sent to a dead end, and demons don't speak of kindness.

When You Lao said this, he reached out and patted my shoulder heavily, and immediately my shoulder was in sharp pain.

I gritted my teeth and rubbed my shoulders, "Old You, can you be lighter?" After half a year of studying art with you, I estimate that both of my arms will be useless. ”

You Lao didn't answer my words, and said earnestly, "Boy, I chose you from among thousands of people, the two of us are fateful, you are also a plastic talent, your sense of justice is very valuable, I hope you can continue to uphold the path of justice in the future." ”

These words suddenly became much heavier for me, and it was at this moment that I felt a sense of mission in my body, which was a feeling that I had never felt before.

In the past, they fooled around with the baboon man, which was nothing more than to complete the task to save their lives, and when they arrived at the demon hunting office, they were also to survive, and other considerations were put behind.

I raised my glass and said solemnly, "Yes Master, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations, if one day I am also polluted by evil forces, then I will be thundered by the sky." ”

"Hahaha, it's useless to swear poison, you remember that since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over righteousness, and the evil deeds you have done will eventually be severely punished, come, drink." You Lao raised his arm very heroically, drank the soul-killing wine in the wine glass, and then filled it again.

I pinched my nose and sipped down most of the wine in my glass, and immediately felt as if I had been cremated, and my whole body was burned.

"You old me...... I ......" I said these words with difficulty, and my head fell to the ground in a hot spot, and I lost consciousness in a daze.

"Poof...... The cold, somewhat spicy liquid hit my face, and I opened my eyes and sat up.

In front of me, You Lao was holding a large ceramic bowl and a wicker in one hand, and it was obvious that he had just sprayed me with the liquid in the ceramic bowl.

"Old You, what is this?" I wiped a handful of liquid on my face, it smelled very spicy, but it had a refreshing fragrance, and it wouldn't be an old man's mouthwash anyway.

"Don't make a fuss, it's the Awakening Water, now you're sober?"

"Oh." I touched the back of my head and stood up, "Old You, I didn't have any foreign appearance after I got drunk just now, right?" ”

You Lao ignored me, beckoned me to follow him out the door, and led me to the thatched house on the far left.

It was empty, except for a simple bed, covered with straw, and the bedding was simple and light.

"In the future, you will practice and read here, you can't leave here without my permission, I will bring you three meals a day."

I turned my head to look out the window, it was dark and deep, it should be midnight.

I opened my mouth and wanted to defend myself a few more words, to buy myself a little more time, but think about it, bargaining in front of the old man is to find trouble for myself, let's see first, if I can't see it, he can't eat me, and he will automatically give me an extension of time when the time comes.

You Lao threw 5 books on the bed and said, "Let's take a look at these first." ”

I curiously picked up a book and opened it to see that it was not the kind of book I imagined that it was full of words, long essays and essays, but it was actually full of pictures and texts, and the interesting thing was that there were very few words, most of them were pictures.

"Master, no, you are similar to the illustrated version of "Gold, Bottle Plum". I smirked.

You Lao walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned around and looked at me, "You know a fart, there are many people who have read "Gold, Bottle Plum", but there are very few people who can really read this book thoroughly. ”

When You Lao asked like this, I was immediately embarrassed.

I really haven't studied "Golden Plum" well, a classmate in the same dormitory in high school, I don't know where I got the pirated version, everyone who poked and poked it and circulated it to watch, of course, we all just watched the content that made the blood boil, and we couldn't wait to skip the rest.
