Chapter 23: It's Him, It's Him!
This future Sanpin master actually despaired of reading and wanted to abandon literature and martial arts.
Wang Xu didn't want to see him like this, and he definitely didn't agree.
Of course, Wang Xu knows very well why he is like this, and he also knows that he can't use strong means to scare him at this time, he has to be persuaded!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xu waved his hand to let Wang Zifan sit down, and said seriously: "Brother Zifan, you seem to have a misunderstanding of martial arts. ”
"Misunderstanding? No, big brother, I really want to abandon literature and martial arts. ”
"Listen to me!" Wang Xu stood up and said with a sad expression: "Why does the Zhou Tian Great World respect martial arts? Is it because there are too few people who read that there is no future for reading? A country, a world, want to develop, want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, not only rely on the warriors, but also the scholars, the scholars use words to settle the world, and win the victory thousands of miles away, how can the vulgar martial arts be compared? Taking a step back, practicing martial arts is better than reading to eat talent, so why should you give up what you're good at and do what you're not good at? ”
"But big brother, I want to try!" Wang Zifan said again.
Seeing that it was useless to persuade well, Wang Xu suddenly shouted: "Bastard! If you were like this, I wouldn't recognize you as a brother! ”
"Don't don't big brother, I ......"
Wang Xu strode up to him, grabbed him by the collar, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zifan, have you forgotten why you are studying?" I know why you want to practice martial arts, you don't want to be bullied, you want to fight back when others bully you, this is contrary to the direction you originally studied, isn't it? ”
"What about your righteousness? Gone? Now you have become a person who only cares about your own life and death? Is it? ”
This sentence made Wang Zifan tremble all over his body, fell into a sluggish state, his eyes widened, and he was abrupt.
Just one sentence, as if it hit the depths of his heart, made him enlightened!
Why does he read?
But at the beginning, he didn't intend to use force to benefit the people, he, like all scholars, hoped to govern the country with literature and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, rather than being forced by force.
But now, he has completely forgotten his original intention, if it weren't for Brother Wang Xu's words to remind him, he would go farther and farther on this road, and become more and more wrong.
Wang Xu saw that he was stunned and felt that it had an effect, so he let go of him and sat aside and waited.
After a long while, Wang Zifan closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, after a long time, he opened his eyes again, with a transparent light in his eyes, and bowed with his fists: "Big brother, I'm sorry, it was Zifan who was wrong before, and let the eldest brother down, Zifan has already decided to study hard from now on, and he will go to Shendu to take the exam next year!" ”
Wang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that he would not be able to persuade Wang Zifan, nodded and smiled: "Okay, brother can figure it out, I am happy for you, you must be able to!" ”
After Wang Zifan left, Wang Xu came to the street alone, and after his meritorious service, he had a few days of vacation, but he was not in a hurry to go to the barracks.
He came to a teahouse to drink tea, sat at the top of the teahouse, and looked over from this position, and could see part of the front yard of the Huo family.
I saw the sound of crying from time to time in the Huo family, and many handymen were running back and forth, very busy.
At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded from behind him, and Wang Xu looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties walking up.
The man was richly dressed and had a mustache, and he looked like a wealthy man like an outsider.
Although Wang Xu has never seen this man, this man's figure is very familiar, and this figure is very similar to the mysterious man in black in the simulation.
It's just that Wang Xu is still not sure, and he is only 60% sure.
Even so, it also made Wang Xu nervous, but fortunately, his psychological quality was good, he was nervous, and he was still calm on the surface.
The man came to the window and stopped, glanced sideways at Wang Xu, and asked, "Little brother is also very concerned about the situation of the Huo family?" ”
The two looked at each other.
At this moment, Wang Xu was even more sure that this guy was the mysterious man in black.
"I don't care, it's just a little embarrassing." Wang Xu replied cautiously.
You must know that this guy is at the level of the lowest seventh-level martial artist, and if he is not careful, he will be killed on the spot in an instant.
"Huh?"
"Yes, Huo Shaoqing is the genius of the Huo family, and also the genius of Phoenix City, with excellent martial arts talent, known as the most promising genius in a hundred years, becoming a genius of qi refiner, just died, it's a pity, and the death is strange, how can it not be embarrassing." Wang Xu sighed again and again.
Yu Guang, seeing the middle-aged man's words of approval, was nodding.
"Sir, would you like to sit down and try a new tea?" Wang Xu asked.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Since the little brother invited, then I'm welcome." ”
He sat opposite Wang Xu, added tea, took a sip and said, "This tea is so-so." ”
"Mr. is a person who understands tea at a glance, don't be surprised, I don't have any taste in the bottom, and I don't understand the good and bad of tea, so Mr. can laugh."
"Haha, it's okay, a small place like Phoenix can actually have such tea, it's also very good."
"Oh, sir, not a local?"
"Well, I'm from Shendu."
"Shendu, it is said that it is far away, and I have never been there, and Mr. can come here because he must have experienced all kinds of difficulties." Wang Xu picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "The younger generation replaces wine with tea, and welcomes Mr. to Phoenix." ”
"Haha, good, good, little brother is very good at talking and being a man."
"Sir, I praised it."
Then, the two chatted about something again, and the conversation suddenly changed, and the middle-aged man asked: "Little brother, since you are a local, do you know some legends of the Huo family?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu's heart sank, why did this guy ask about this, didn't he know about the Huo family?
Or is it a deliberate probing?
In any case, you have to answer carefully.
Wang Xu cleared his throat and said: "What can the origin of the Huo family have, it has always been a martial arts family in Phoenix City, and I really don't know about it, but I heard that the ancestor who established the Huo family was a qi refiner, but it was a long time ago, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"That's all?"
"Sir, the younger generation knows this, the descendants of the Huo family are powerful in Phoenix City on weekdays, and the people dare not speak out, who dares to inquire more about these things, right?"
"Hmph, yes." He stood up and said, "Alright, little brother, thank you for the tea, I should go." ”
Wang Xu immediately got up and clenched his fists: "Mr. go slowly, I won't send it." ”
It wasn't until the man walked downstairs that Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat in fear.
It's so exciting!
