Not long after, Zhao Hua also came in, he quickly packed up the clothes that filled the living room, and made us a pot of tea.

My master sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and then said to Hu Nanqian, "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"A week or so," Hu Nanqian pointed to me when she spoke: "It just so happens that I have a job at hand, which is related to evil corpses, if it doesn't work, you can let your apprentice deal with it for a while." ”

The master put down the teacup and said, "Do you believe in my apprentice's ability, and you still want to investigate him?" ”

Hu Nanqian then smiled: "Master Chai, why are you talking?" How can I not believe the apprentices you have taught. However, you haven't been out of the mountain all these years, and the business of the evil corpse has long been contracted by Baiwu Mountain. If you want your apprentice to accept this stall, I have no opinion, but I'm afraid that those people in Baiwu Mountain are unwilling, you still let your apprentice show them with both hands, as long as they are convinced, they will naturally withdraw from this business. ”

My master touched the edge of the teacup with his index finger, was silent for a while, and then smiled: "Okay, what do you say, just do it." ”

Hu Nanqian stood up from the yoga blanket, made a very twisted movement, and said to my master, "That's right, it's just right, the business I'm talking about is a local person." Wait for tomorrow, the people from Baiwu Mountain are here, let's go together. ”

Master nodded, poured himself another cup of tea, and then asked Hu Nanqian: "In the past few years that I have been away, who has been sent by Baiwushan to take my place?" ”

"A young Zhuang faction," Hu Nanqian said: "It's called Yan Xiaotian, this person is the leader of the Baiwu Mountain Young Zhuang faction, and his master is Zhao Dekai, the master of the Bailian Hall." ”

Hearing the name "Zhao Dekai", I almost squirted the tea in my mouth.

I think that when I followed my master to the ghost market once, I had a fight with this Zhao Dekai.

I can't imagine that the one who is robbing my door of the soul village business is his disciple again, and this is really a rival.

Hu Nanqian was still saying at this time: "I heard that Yan Xiaotian has always been cultivated by the old master as the next successor, the old master has extremely high requirements for him, and he lives up to expectations, at a young age, the Tao has far surpassed Zhao Dekai, and the old master also made a special trip to find someone to calculate Yan Xiaotian, and the diviner said that if Yan Xiaotian can comply with the mandate of heaven, Baiwushan will be able to revive the world in his generation." ”

My master frowned: "Hearing you say this, Yan Xiaotian's talent should be good." ”

"It's not bad," Hu Nanqian said with a smile: "It's just a genius, I've seen him twice, this kid's bearing is quite extraordinary." ”

Hearing her say this, I felt very twisted in my heart, although she didn't say it explicitly, but I always felt that she seemed to be comparing me with that Yan Xiaotian, she said that Yan Xiaotian was extraordinary, didn't she mean me......

As I was thinking this, I heard my master sigh: "Alas, no matter how good the talent is, in the hands of the old master, it will become a waste." ”

This time, Hu Nanqian didn't answer, just smiled.

I asked Master, "Who is the old master?" Isn't Yan Xiaotian's master Zhao Dekai? ”

The master took a sip of tea, and then said: "Old Master, he is the contemporary master of Baiwu Mountain, he is the same as the previous generations of Baiwu Mountain Masters, stubborn, old-fashioned, and inflexible, so people in the same way call him Old Master." And Zhao Dekai is Yan Xiaotian's mentor...... The door rules of Baiwu Mountain are different from our Soul Village, in our Soul Village, the master who preaches and teaches is the same person, but in Baiwu Mountain, the master is also divided into two kinds, one is the teacher who teaches karma, and the other is the teacher who preaches. Yan Xiaotian's mentor is Zhao Dekai, the preaching teacher, who should be the old master. ”

Hu Nanqian also nodded on the side: "It's really like this." ”

After a while, Zhao Hua came in with two big fish, saying that he was going to make a whole fish feast tonight, and let us taste his craftsmanship.

Master also got up from the sofa and ran to the kitchen to help Zhao Hua.

Before I came to Henan, I thought that the relationship between Master and Hu Nanqian was the purest kind of business relationship, and when the two sides met, they should probably look like they were doing business with each other, but after I came, I found that whether it was my Master or Hu Nanqian and Zhao Hua, everything they did was very casual, just like when three friends who had known each other for many years got together.

After the master left, Hu Nanqian suddenly said to me, "Yan Xiaotian, this person is crazy, you have thought about it, what should you do if you meet him tomorrow?" ”

What should I do if I run into him? What else can you do with cold salad? Anyway, I can't avoid him or chase him away.

Although I thought so, I said, "Let's talk about tomorrow." ”

Hu Nanqian asked me again: "If he takes the initiative to bully you, will you do it with him?" ”

I thought about it for a while, but I said, "Let's talk about it then, it depends." ”

Hearing me say this, Hu Nanqian smiled: "You baby is really good, but you don't like to say a clear word, just like your master." ”

After that, she looked at Liang Houzai again and said, "You are all Li Liang's senior disciples, hey, not bad, the young man is quite energetic." ”

Liang Houzai just drank the tea in the teacup into his mouth, and said "poof!" on the spot! He threw up all the ground, and then he got up and ran to the kitchen like a gust of wind to help.

Later, the smell of fish came from the kitchen, and Liu Shangang said that he was hungry, so he also looked for the fragrance and entered the kitchen.

After everyone left, I asked the question I was most concerned about on this trip: "How much money can I probably make from the business that my master usually takes?" ”

Hu Nanqian said with a smile while doing yoga: "Generally speaking, most of the people who do business with you are either rich or expensive, and the price is high or low, mainly depending on how complicated things are. The price is very high, and the low price is not so low. However, there are some special cases where no money is charged. I heard from your master that most of the money you make from doing this kind of business has to be given to the Soul Village, and only a small part is for yourself. Hey, don't worry, there's enough money left over for you to eat. ”

After a while, she looked at me with a smile and said, "Why do you care about how much money you can make, do you want to save money to marry a daughter-in-law?" I heard from your master that you and Luo Fei of the Ghost Gate have a doll kiss...... Hey, why are you still blushing, why is it so easy to be ashamed of such a good young man? ”

I felt that I couldn't talk to her anymore, so I got up from the sofa and ran to the kitchen to help Zhao Hua.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Hua helped us arrange the guest room, there are six rooms in the villa, each of which is very similar to the ordinary hotel standard room, two beds, a small few, a TV, and a separate bathroom.

That night, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang stayed in one room, while I lived with Master.

The master handed over the Qinggang Sword and the Fantian Seal to me, saying that I would handle the matter tomorrow by myself, and he would not come forward.

At half past five in the morning, although I didn't set an alarm clock in advance, after several years of practice, I still opened my eyes at this time, and then went to the back of the villa for morning exercise.

When I was practicing the heart cultivation skills, Liang Houzai also came over, and as soon as he saw me, he asked, "Grandpa Chai, why didn't you come along?" ”

I said, "I've been running around all these days, and I've tired the old man, and I haven't gotten up yet." ”

Liang Houzai didn't say anything more, and started the morning exercise with me.

Because there is no stone lock around me, I can't practice Tiangang lock like usual, and Liang Houzai doesn't have a sandbag with leggings, so I can't practice my leg strength like usual.

We have encountered situations like this many times, whenever there is a shortage of training equipment, Master will let the two of us practice against each other, and this time is no exception.

During the sparring session, Liang Houzai would teach me some more practical leg techniques, and I would help him adjust his kung fu in the upper three ways.

Over the years, the two of us have practiced together every day, but we have never actually fought once, and I don't know who is more powerful in terms of hand and foot kung fu.

However, in my opinion, Tiangang Lock is a little faster, and there shouldn't be much of a problem to deal with his legs. I guess Liang Houzai probably thinks he can rely on the length of his legs to resist my Tiangang lock.

After all, these kung fu involve our respective inheritances, and neither of us will admit that our own inheritance is weaker than the other's.

At more than six o'clock, Liu Shangang also began to run around the top of the mountain in the morning, which is also a habit he has developed with Senior Brother Bao for more than a year, he is not running fast, and his endurance is slightly worse, but after all, he has practiced a lot, and in terms of physical strength, Liu Shangang has been much better than ordinary people.

In fact, what I am most interested in is his agility, the last time I saw him climb the chain once in the Evil Tomb, I can probably know that he is already on a par with Liang Houzai in terms of agility, and I have to admit that in this regard, both of them are better than me.

But this is also a helpless thing, my body has grown big, and I have been focusing on the practice of the three ways of kung fu over the years, only pay attention to the shot is fast enough, the hand is heavy enough, although the eight-step Shenxing is also often practiced, but that only improves my running speed and jumping ability, in terms of the lightness of the body, I really have no comparison with the two of them.

But I've never seen Liu Shangang practice, I've only seen him running, and I don't know how he practiced so light.

At about seven o'clock, Liu Shangang finished his long-distance run and followed me and Liang Houzai back for breakfast.

I guess Master must have warmed up the milk and boiled the eggs by now, if Hu Nanqian's family had stocked up on these two ingredients.

When we came to the door of the house, before we could knock on the door, Hu Nanqian opened the door and came out, she blocked the position of the door, and she didn't look at the three of us, just kept looking at the direction of the hillside.

I don't know what she's doing, but I'm too embarrassed to just ask her to make way for us, so I just stand with her.

After a while, Hu Nanqian suddenly said to me, "He's coming." ”

Liu Shangang asked her next to me, "Who?" ”

The corners of Hu Nanqian's mouth provoked a smile: "Yan Xiaotian is here." That's right, why don't you deal with him first? If he loses, I won't let him in, just to save someone's breakfast. ”

I looked in the direction of the hillside, but saw nothing but a few tufts of weeds on the edge of the summit. I tried to listen again, but I couldn't hear any special sounds, and when everyone stopped talking, all I could hear on the top of this man-made bombed hilltop was the sound of the wind or the wind.

After about ten minutes, there was a sound of car horns coming from down the hill, far away from us, from the train station.
