I said: "Second Master, I've often heard you talk about the Little Demon King, the Little Demon King, what the hell is he doing, how do I think, you, the Third Master, and the Seventh Master are particularly jealous of him?" ”

The second master smiled helplessly: "It's not a matter of being afraid, it's just that that kid is very troublesome, once he sticks to you, it's like a dog skin plaster, and he can't shake it off." ”

I asked the second master: "Does he have a grudge against me?" I heard from the third master that once the little devil found out my identity, he would do his best to kick me out of the house. Or is there any enmity between the elders of his family and my father? ”

Second Master: "The father of the little devil is your uncle, and he has a good relationship with your father." Speaking of which, you and the little devil really have no grudges or grudges, and the reason why he wants to kick you out of the house is just because of jealousy. ”

I didn't understand what the second master meant: "Jealous of what?" ”

The second master first poured a big sip of wine, and then said to me: "I am jealous that you have become the heir of the bonebreaker." Let me tell you this, for our old family, it is an honor to be able to enter the winter word vein. I grew up watching the little devil, this kid has a characteristic, that is, no matter what he has to fight with others, he is smart, his eyelids are also alive, he has not suffered much since he was a child, every time he fights with others, he has the last laugh. It's a pity that there are always some things in this world that can't be done by being smart and clever. ”

I looked at the second master and answered: "The little devil also wants to enter the winter word vein?" ”

The second master nodded: "When he was twelve years old, his son, that is, your uncle, recommended him to me, let me cultivate for a while." Heck, the conditions of 'such as' are good in all aspects, but the resistance to poison is too low, and I haven't passed the level of refining poison. It is said that this is also something that cannot be helped, but he can't get over that hurdle himself. ”

If so, when I heard the second master say this, I remembered that the name of the little demon king is Yu Ru.

I asked the second master, "What does it mean to refine poison?" ”

The second master said: "You are because you were born with a strange vein, and you went directly to the winter character vein without selection." Generally speaking, if the clansmen of the small character generation want to enter the winter character vein, they must first pass three levels, the first level is to brew medicine, if they can absorb two taels of medicinal power within a year, they will pass the level. The second level is to heal from injury, this level is actually to test the ability to absorb medicinal power, remember when you first came to the house, you Liyan cut your hand with a knife? ”

I nodded, "Yes." ”

Second Master: "At that time, he just wanted to see your ability to heal from injuries, and it was just like this that he tried your talent." Generally speaking, an injury like that can heal within two days is considered qualified. The third level is to refine poison, our family used to be a soldier, and the winter character vein was responsible for protecting the main general, so in many cases, the people of the winter word vein had to try the dishes before the main general ate to determine whether the meal was poisonous. ”

I said, "If the food is poisonous, isn't the person who tries the food doomed?" ”

The second master smiled and said, "Therefore, a person who can enter the winter character must have a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the end of the Sui Dynasty, the ancestors of our old family continued to taste and test poison, resulting in more than half of the clansmen having such a physique. But the little demon king Pianpian is not, he passed the first two levels, but he failed when refining poison, with his temperament, it is normal that he can't accept the reality. ”

I thought about what had happened for more than a month, and said, "No, second master, I remember when you gave me Huanyang Dan, you also said that Huanyang Dan contains toxins. Since you let me enter the winter word vein, doesn't it mean that I am a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons, so what were you worried about at the time? ”

The second master smiled a little embarrassed: "You are different from others, at present, you are the only one in the family who can practice the bone destroying hand, whether you are a poisonous physique or not, you must enter the winter word vein, this is a fateful thing." But fortunately, the toxin of Huanyang Dan has not flare up so far, which means that you have passed the level of poison refining. ”

Speaking of this, the second master poured a big sip of beer, and then leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said to me helplessly: "Actually, in addition to you, there are a few juniors in Dongzimai, but they can only be regarded as the disciples of Dongzimai, and Xia Zimai is responsible for training them on weekdays. But you are different, you are my apprentice, I am going to personally temper your body and bones now, and in the future, I will personally pass on your bone-destroying hands and teeth dismantling eight styles. I reckon, with the temperament of the little devil, he now sees you as the number one enemy. ”

Hearing him say so much, I also felt very helpless, ate a big mouthful of meat a little irritably, and asked the second master: "If he really comes to me for trouble, what should I do?" ”

The second master first gave me two words very briefly: "him." ”

After a while, he shook his head again: "No, you haven't learned to destroy bones yet, and you're not such an opponent." If he really comes to provoke you, you better hide first. Alas, it's been a month since you came back, and I've been urging you to practice, and I haven't introduced you to the other little guys in our lineage. In a place like the family, if you want to survive, you still have to learn to huddle together to keep warm. By the way, if not, do you have any friends on this side of Bohai Bay, except for Boss Lu in the furniture store. ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Is Zhao Yahui counted?" It's my girlfriend. ”

"No," the second master waved his hand: "Actually, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, this relationship with Xiaohui, you don't have to take it too seriously, I guess the two of you won't have results." ”

I was a little annoyed when I heard him say this: "No, second master, what do you mean?" Why do I ...... with Xiaohui?"

Before I could speak, he interrupted me: "Forget it, don't discuss this, you just don't say anything." ”

To be honest, I don't really want to mention Xiaohui now, after all, I just handed over the evidence that Zhao Guangan is a tomb robber to the second master not long ago. I have been in contact with the second master for a month, and I know very well in my heart that it is impossible for him to shield Zhao Guangan in his affection and reason, and it is estimated that Zhao Guangan will be sent to the bureau by Wang Lei early tomorrow morning.

When I think of this, I am upset, and I don't know how to explain such a thing to Xiaohui.

Hearing what the second master said, I also nodded, and I didn't mean to continue arguing.

Then the second master said to me: "Today you have completed a task independently, which can be regarded as officially entering the industry, and inviting you to eat this meal can be regarded as a celebration for you and a reward for you." In addition, I also plan to use this wine to talk to you about our business. ”

I have long been full of curiosity about the business of the family, and when I heard the second master say this, I also came to the spirit.

The second master was not in a hurry, so while drinking, he slowed down his speech and slowly told me the origin of this business.

The second master said that in the early years, many people called the old man's family "Wuyantang", which means that this industry is composed of five professions and people with different identities.

Repair, acting, soldiering, stealing, and lettering, the five professions, collectively known as Wuyan, when everyone gets together, it is Wuyantang.

Nowadays, the title of "Wuyantang" has long been abandoned, but after so many years, the big structure of the industry has not changed much.

Let's talk about word repair first.

All of them use the word "cultivation", which means that those who are mixed in this sect are people who study magic and witchcraft, and most of these people have some cultivation, even if they do not cultivate, as long as they know some magic inheritance to exorcise ghosts and avoid disasters, they generally belong to this category.

The second master said that the cultivation door is the first of the five words, and it is also the most mysterious one, and our old family mainly deals with people in this door on weekdays.

In the early years, most of the fortune tellers and feng shui gentlemen who wandered the rivers and lakes belonged to this category.

Cultivation is not separated from acting, acting is not separated from cultivation, many people who are mixed in the industry are both warlocks and fortune tellers, even if they don't know fortune telling, they also generally understand some things in feng shui, and some warlocks even have anything to do with the thief door, often help the thief to look at the stars and the moon, and find the dragon point.

After the repair and performance, it is a soldier.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually no soldier in the industry, and the "soldier gate" at that time was still "martial arts", which refers to those family gates who have practiced martial arts for generations and often interact with people in the industry. However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao intervened in our industry, and many soldiers entered the industry, and the Wuzimen became the Bingzimen.

When it comes to the word soldier, we have to mention the theft door, in the whole industry, these two doors have the deepest origin.

At the beginning, in order to make up for the lack of military salaries, Cao Cao set up military ranks such as General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Jin, specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and subsidizing military salaries. In fact, before the appearance of Captain Touching Jin and Faqiu Zhonglang, there were already many families in the name of "thieves" in the industry, Cao Cao asked the soldiers to rob the tomb, in a sense, even if he entered the door of theft, he became a person in the industry.

Although there are a lot of soldiers who have entered the industry, there are only a handful of people who really have skills, most of them can only be regarded as joint, they do not understand the knowledge of tomb robbery, they are only responsible for digging mountains to find tombs, carrying the property stolen from the tomb, plus years of practice, there is a certain martial arts foundation, when they are classified into categories, these people are classified into martial arts.

At that time, the army was in chaos, in addition to repairing and performing two doors, the other three doors in the industry almost died out, after these people joined the martial arts, it soon became a climate, they thought that a single "martial" word could not represent them, so they began to change "martial" to "soldier".

And our old family is a typical representative of the soldier.

The second master said that today's soldier door is actually only left with our old family, and the current situation of stealing the door is even more miserable.

Tufuzi no longer robbed tombs, and the gods who roamed the market changed careers and started a watch business, while the families of snitches who walked on the walls and walked on the ground were extinct as early as fifty years ago.

The decline of the burglar door is also a good thing. But the second master said that the reason why there are five words in the Wuyantang is actually a manifestation of the five elements of Shengke, which day the door is completely destroyed, there must be a big one, and the balance in the industry at that time is subverted, and there will be a big chaos.

Compared with the theft door, there is also the letter door that is also about to fall to the extreme.

Letters, to put it bluntly, were messengers and messengers, and they were indeed an indispensable part of the trade in those days before the invention of the telephone.

But nowadays, a messenger who travels thousands of miles a day is no longer as good as a network cable or a mobile phone, that is, those old monks who are completely out of touch with the times, occasionally need to rely on messengers to transmit messages.

In order to survive, the people of the Xinzimen rarely send letters anymore, and instead began to sell news, help the major sects contact business, and occasionally buy some useless magic weapons from the major sects, and take them to the antique market for a few change.

Sun Chuansheng's Sun family is a typical representative of the letter door, but their family is okay, after all, it is a "double door", in addition to the letter door, it is also a repair door.

And the Yu family and the Sun family are similar, nominally the representative of the soldier family, but in fact it is "eat three doors", not only subordinate to the soldier word door, but also most of the clansmen are proficient in magic, and there are some grave hunting and fighting skills, so it belongs to the two doors of repair and theft.
