8. Draw old men

After agreeing on learning martial arts.

From the next day, Jiang Yi followed Bai Zhantang to learn martial arts after closing the stall every afternoon.

He was not in a hurry, starting from the basic skills of squatting and recognizing the acupuncture points and meridians, and slowly cultivated.

Seeing that Jiang Yi was serious and hardworking, Bai Zhantang had no intention of hiding his secrets, and taught him quite wholeheartedly.

For Jiang Yi, this is a rare opportunity to learn martial arts, so he naturally will not miss it, and he has the strength to prepare for the college entrance examination and study hard.

After all, he doesn't know which TV series world he will cross next, and whether there will be any dangers, but he doesn't think there will be such a harmonious environment as martial arts legends.

If the next world is a world with a relatively high degree of danger, then martial arts is the greatest way to establish one's life, and he naturally does not dare to relax.

Of course, he didn't forget to find a painting teacher for Bai Zhantang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he planned to go to the mysterious old man who painted, and let the other party be Bai Zhantang's teacher and teach him to paint.

He can also test to see if he can get a few copies of martial arts cheats.

……

Three days later.

Jiang Yi searched hard, and finally found the old man who painted, and then took the other party to the Tongfu Inn.

"Lao Bai, let me introduce you, this old gentleman is the teacher I found for you, and he will teach you to paint in the future."

Jiang Yi saw that Bai Zhantang was in the store, and hurriedly introduced.

Bai Zhantang stepped forward quite respectfully, helped the old man who was painting, and led him to his seat: "Old man, you sit." ”

After pouring a bowl of tea for the old man, Bai Zhantang asked with some curiosity: "I don't know which Danqing master this old man is?" ”

The old man said angrily: "Don't worry, follow me to learn to paint, and you will never die of hunger in the future."

Bai Zhantang saw his confident appearance and thought that he was a famous painter, and he couldn't help but be happy.

The old man, who didn't want to paint, then said:

"I can sell a painting for five cents, follow me to learn, and it will not be a problem to eat well."

Five, five pennies?

Bai Zhantang suddenly felt as if his dream had been insulted, and all his expectations were disappointed.

He couldn't speak ill of the old man, so he could only point the finger at Jiang Yi. Pulling Jiang Yi to the side, he complained in a low voice:

"Xiao Jiang, when I taught you martial arts, I did my best, and I didn't hide anything private, so you found such an unreliable teacher to teach me?"

Jiang Yi laughed dryly, then put on a positive look again, and said: "Lao Bai, don't underestimate this old man, he has been painting since he was a child, and he has been painting for decades now, with profound skills and rich experience, it is more than enough to teach you a beginner." ”

"Hey, what this posterity says is reasonable"

Although the old man looked old and faint, his ears were very smart, and he said one after another: "I'm old, I don't have any other hobbies, I like to paint." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and began to brag loudly: "I think back then, when I was eight years old, I relied on painting to exchange two meat buns." Ouch, that's called a fragrant yo. ”

Looking at the old man's appearance, Bai Zhantang felt more and more unreliable, and looked at Jiang Yi angrily, his eyes were quite dangerous.

Jiang Yi was furious by him, and after thinking about it, he persuaded him: "Look at this, you follow him for a few days first, if it's really not good, I'll change you another teacher until you're satisfied." ”

Guo Furong, who was wiping the table on the side, had been watching and eavesdropping on the three of them.

At this time, she also put down the rag and said funny: "Lao Bai, you still want to learn to paint, forget it, are you this material?" ”

Bai Zhantang expressed his dissatisfaction with Guo Furong's cynicism, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Furong, let me tell you, I have had artistic cells since I was a child, but I was delayed by martial arts training. If I hadn't practiced martial arts, I would have been a well-known painter by now. ”

At this moment, Xiucai, who was standing behind the counter to settle accounts, also interjected: "Lao Bai, I think you should continue to do the promising job of running the hall, don't think about art." ”

Bai Zhantang couldn't help but be angry when he saw that neither of them was optimistic about him, he felt that his self-esteem had been hit, and remembered what Jiang Yi said yesterday. He snorted coldly and squinted at the two of them:

"To be a human being, you still have to have dreams, if you don't have dreams, what is the difference between a person and a salted fish. Look at it, and when I learn how to draw, I'm going to scare you. ”

The old man on the side put the cane in his hand on the ground, made a bang, and shouted, "Okay, don't make any noise." I've been walking all the way, and I'm already hungry, so prepare a meal for me. ”

"Okay, you wait a while, the wine and food will come up soon." Jiang Yi responded diligently.

The old man glanced at Jiang Yi and said meaningfully: "It's still your kid who has eyesight, go quickly." ”

Jiang Yi went to the kitchen and asked him to prepare all kinds of big fish and meat. Although the old man is very old, he likes to be fishy and greasy, and he is not afraid of the "three highs" at all.

After working in the kitchen for a while, Jiang Yi served the dishes to the old man who painted.

While the old man was eating sauerkraut fish there and feasting, Jiang Yi sat down beside him and asked, "I heard your old man say that he can draw martial arts secrets, is it true, can you paint a few pictures for me?" ”

The old man swallowed the fish in his mouth and smashed his mouth in satisfaction: "Well, this fish is well done." It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious. ”

Then he looked at Jiang Yi and said casually: "I can do a lot, secret weapons, light skills, sword skills, swordsmanship...... What kind of secret do you want? ”

Jiang Yi thought for a while and said: "A set of light skills, a set of knife techniques, and another secret weapon technique." ”

After taking the light exercises, Bai Zhantang can verify it and see if it is true or false. If it is true, the sword technique and the secret weapon technique can also be cultivated with confidence.

As for why you don't learn swordsmanship and learn swordsmanship, it's naturally because the difficulty of swordsmanship is relatively low and it's easier to learn.

As the so-called moon stick, year knife, a lifetime of guns, the sword is hidden with you.

The old man who painted responded with a big bag: "Okay, as long as you can provide me with this sauerkraut fish and a big elbow to feed the old man's belly, it is not a problem to want martial arts secrets." ”

"Well, thank you very much. Don't worry, in this inn, you don't dare to say anything else, you can definitely eat enough. ”

This old man is a hidden master of the game world, and he is mysterious.

Jiang Yi couldn't judge his thoughts, and he didn't know whether his words were true or false, so he could only follow his words.

He didn't mean to force it, it was good to be able to get the true secret, and if he couldn't get it, he would follow Bai Zhantang to practice acupoints and light skills with peace of mind.

After that, Bai Zhantang began to learn painting skills with the old man.

In his free time, the old man also drew out the secret tips such as light skills, knife skills, and hidden weapons that Jiang Yi asked for, and gave them to him.

……

On this day, Jiang Yi practiced martial arts in the backyard.

After he finished practicing, Bai Zhantang instructed and explained what he had just done.

After talking for a while, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his mouth and said tentatively: "Lao Bai, I think the reason why you are this runner in addition to taking care of the shopkeeper, you should also have other hardships, right?" ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Bai Zhantang pretended to be puzzled and said.

Jiang Yi snapped his fingers and said: "Look, you are young, you are a stunt with excellent light skills and acupoints, and you are also a first-class master on the rivers and lakes." You don't go to the rivers and lakes, happy to revenge, but you are willing to be a runner in such an ordinary inn, can this kind of thing be reasonable? ”

"In my opinion, there are three reasons why your unreasonable behavior can't escape: First, you were caught by someone and couldn't help yourself, just like Xiao Guo, who was doing miscellaneous work, this is unlikely. Second, you look down on the rivers and lakes, hide in the city, and fall in love with the shopkeeper, and are willing to stay in the inn to live an ordinary life. ”

"However, even if you like Tong Xiangyu and want to take care of her, there is no need to be a runner, so you must have a reason why you have to hide your identity."

"Moreover, although the world is big, there are not many masters who can cultivate like you. So that's the last reason left, you have a last resort. ”

"I guess, your true identity is famous, stealing the Holy White Jade Soup, that's right."

Like a thunderous explosion, Bai Zhantang only felt that the hairs on his back stood on end, and he was shocked, and looked at Jiang Yi in disbelief: "Who are you?" Could it be the secret agent of the Six Doors? ”

Jiang Yi looked at Bai Zhantang's panicked appearance, and said helplessly: "I just deceived you casually, and you really admitted it." ”

The inference he just made was just a derivation of inverted cause and effect, and there were many flaws, which seemed to be reasoning, but in fact it was nonsense.

It's just that for Bai Zhantang, who has a ghost in his heart, as soon as he heard Jiang Yi tell the secret he had been hiding, he was already in a mess, where could he carefully analyze the errors and omissions in the derivation.

Seeing that Bai Zhantang was still worried, Jiang Yi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will follow you to practice martial arts, and I will not betray you." ”

Seeing that Jiang Yi knew that he was a thief saint, he still treated himself as usual, Bai Zhantang breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Thank you, I was almost scared to death by you just now." ”

The reason why Jiang Yi revealed Bai Zhantang's true identity was also to bring the relationship between the two sides closer.

Seeing that Bai Zhantang had calmed down, Jiang Yi took out the light skills secret given to him by the old man who painted:

"Lao Bai, this is the secret of the light skill that I found to draw the old man, can you help me see if it is true or false?"

"That old man is bragging, do you really believe it?"

Bai Zhantang took the stack of drawing paper disapprehantly, flipped through it twice at random, and said quite funny.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Bai Zhantang was shocked, his eyes were extremely solemn, and he frowned and carefully examined the drawing paper. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Look at this secret, it seems to be the legendary snow without a trace." If this is really a light skill, then the old man is really a top master who is very hidden. ”

Jiang Yi remembered that Bai Zhantang once said that the most powerful light skill in the rivers and lakes was "Treading the Snow and Seeking Plum Blossoms", and couldn't help asking:

"Is this snow treading without a trace and what you said before about treading the snow to find plums a light skill?"

Bai Zhantang nodded: "One meaning, as the so-called stepping on the snow without a trace to find the plum, Linfeng intends to ask the moon." ”

"Lao Bai, can you be sure of the authenticity of this secret?" Jiang Yi asked again.

Bai Zhantang waved his hand solemnly and said, "I'm not sure yet, I still have to cultivate before I can draw conclusions." ”

"Okay, then you practice first, remember to be careful, don't go crazy." Jiang Yi instructed.

"Don't worry, I know it."
