Chapter 57: The Difficulty of Apprenticeship
Ah Man has never watched a play since she was a child, so she actually began to squat down and discuss with the beggar seriously.
A Man said: "Will there be a world master and an eighteen bronze people in the play?" I haven't seen it. ”
The old beggar didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a hoarse voice: "I haven't read it, haven't you heard the story?" The storyteller is the best at. No, at the head of the banyan tree, there are storytellers blowing all over the sky. ”
Ah Man was a little interested, and she asked, "What story are you talking about?" ”
The old beggar swept his clothes, bent over, stood up, and said, "Who knows." I didn't listen to it, and I guessed how the wolf king was wise and martial and subdued the wolf dog. Masters are mixed in the market, and there is no place for the story. ”
After speaking, the old beggar ignored Ah Man's blinking eyes, listening with relish, expecting him to say a little more. The old beggar drove Ah Man like a chicken and a duck and said, "Go and go, if you like to listen, go to the banyan tree to listen to the book." ”
Everyone didn't pay attention, and the night shadow standing quietly on the side was flashing in his eyes, waiting for an opportunity to move.
However, just as Nightshade drew his knife and put it on the old beggar's neck, Aman jumped to the old beggar's side with a grin.
She didn't seem to dislike the old beggar for being dirty and smelly, so she put her arm around the old beggar's shoulder and said, "I like to hear what you say." ”
The old beggar felt the strength of Ah Man's clasp on his shoulder, his lips raised imperceptibly, and his eyes squinted at Ah Man.
The old beggar shook his arm and said, "Go, I'm not a storyteller at the head of the banyan tree." "However, Ah Man has great strength, and the old beggar can't get rid of Ah Man.
So the old beggar hunched over and coughed violently. He excused himself to avoid Ah Man, and then touched his bamboo stick. However, Aman still refused to let go.
The old beggar said, "You can do it, and let the old man beg." The old man worked hard, three times a day without landing, and his hands stopped! ”
So, Ah Man let go of the old beggar as he said. Let him get his bamboo stick and the plate for begging.
Then, Ah Man raised his hand and watched the beggar act for a long time.
Ah Man said: "The old man said that he was going to beg, didn't he feel that he had already met a nobleman?" What is the explanation of letting the ready-made benefactors ignore the near and far? ”
The old beggar, on the contrary, was not in a hurry to leave. But he didn't turn around to look at Aman. The old beggar sneered and said, "Hmph, is it possible, the noble person in your mouth is yourself?" ”
Ah Man also smiled. She reached out and pointed to herself, the Nightshade behind her, and said, "Of course it's not me, it's him!" Childe, don't you say? ”
Suddenly regarded as a child's night shadow: ...... It's speechless.
Nightshade touched the hem of his shirt, then pulled out a handful of still warm broken silver from his bosom - this was the one he had just gotten from his mission yesterday. I didn't expect that I was carrying it in my arms, and before I had time to spend it, it was going to be confiscated.
What could he do. The master said that if he has it, he has to have it, right? Otherwise, how will you get along with this master in the future? Originally, he had a paralyzed face and was not pleasant.
So, without the slightest resistance, Nightshadow put the broken silver on the beggar's plate. The old beggar weighed the plate and said, "That's it?" It's not enough for me to fight the tooth sacrifice! ”
Nightshade tried to draw her sword again. The partial-born Aman skillfully moved in front of the beggar.
Ah Man didn't smile this time, and he didn't hook up with him.
Ah Man changed back to his original cool face.
Ah Man looked at the old beggar coldly and said, "In this world, you eat by strength. ”
As he spoke, Ah Man had already made a move on the old beggar. The old beggar was not polite, and he rose up with three strikes and five divisions, revealing his true colors.
It turned out that the old beggar was the legendary master who was good at using the dog-beating stick method.
Ah Man didn't have a long stick in his hand, and after a few moves with the beggar, he could only draw the hand. If he moves further, Ah Man estimates that he may fall behind. So, Ah Man cleverly stopped in time.
Ah Man noticed that the beggar's stick method did have his merits. For undisciplined group attacks, the dog-beating stick method is obviously superior. Probably, this is the practical experience he has accumulated over the years of begging life.
Of course, Aman also has actual combat experience, but, after all, the qualifications of the old beggar are there, and in this regard, Aman still admires him. Therefore, it is still necessary to learn more from the strengths of hundreds of schools.
For powerful people, Aman respects them from the bottom of his heart. So, Ah Man lowered his attitude again and said to the old beggar: "Uncle, how about teaching me your dog-beating stick method?" ”
The old beggar snorted lightly and said, "With your martial arts, it's enough to be a female dart master." My tricks are also casually played, just to beat dogs, how can I get into the eyes of you nobles? ”
Nightshade: ...... He just wants to say, he's the real male bodyguard, okay?
Nightshade stepped forward and said with great righteousness, "What if His Majesty introduced her?" ”
The old beggar turned around and looked Ah Man up and down, as well as the night shadow.
The old beggar's sarcasm was even stronger: "Our wise and martial majesty, will you look down on us beggars?" You're not kidding. Calling you nobles, it's really on the line. Just ask the real nobles, how can they have the leisure to come and chat with an old beggar in the dilapidated alley. Go and go, don't delay me in begging for life. With the little you just gave me, I can't even drink alcohol! ”
Seeing this, without saying a word, Ah Man took out a hairpin from his baggage and put it in the old beggar's hand.
Fortunately, she was also poor and knew the importance of money. Although in the harem, she didn't wear any of the things outside her body that the wolf king gave her, but she rolled all these gold and silver jewelry into her baggage. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
The old beggar was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the hairpin, he knew that it was not an ordinary product, and it could not be in the palace.
The old beggar asked, "These ...... I'm afraid you didn't steal it, right? ”
Nightshadow flashed his sword again, and this time, Aman didn't stop it. Instead of wasting time here with chatter, it is better to solve it roughly. Sometimes, force is a really good thing.
If you say that when you see the hairpin, the old beggar is still suspicious. Then, when he saw Nightshade's superior sword, he was already somewhat convinced.
Just when Ah Man thought that the old beggar was going to let go, he didn't expect the old beggar to say with a dissolute face: "If it is really a noble person recommended by His Majesty, it will be even more unfortunate." Don't come to scold me. ”
The Night Shadow Sword was unsheathed, and his eyes flashed and he threatened the old beggar and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you disobey Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty will have you disposed of you?" ”
The old beggar looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he said confidently: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." Your Majesty wants to give an order, and naturally I can't escape. Now, since Your Majesty has not given an order, I am my beggar, who am I hindering? Could it be that Your Majesty, who is wise and martial, can still oppress poor people like me? Hum! ”
"You ......" Nightshade was dumbfounded, as the Blue Wolf King had indeed given no orders.
Ah Man understands that this old beggar is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he does not eat soft and hard. Whether to teach or not to teach really depends on his mood.
So, Aman tried to lower her posture, trying to win the old beggar's empathy.
Ah Man said to the old beggar: "I can't hide it, I was not a nobleman originally, I was born in a mass grave, and I robbed the vicious dogs for food all the year round. ”
Hearing this, the night shadow on the side glanced at Ah Man deeply, he didn't know that his master actually had such a tragic past. Hearing this, he wanted to take money into his arms again.
The old beggar also looked at Ah Man intently, and then thoughtfully.
Ah Man then said, "That's right, I'm also good at using sticks. I didn't have a weapon in my hand just now. If I have a long stick, martial arts are definitely not under you. Since you don't want to teach, how about you learn from each other again? ”
So the old beggar threw away his bamboo pole and said, "Take it, let's take a few tricks and see it." ”
With the long stick in hand, Ah Man danced freely. At first, it was a move made by a stick monk who stole it from the Treasure Temple. Then, there is the exclusive true biography of Grandpa Whitebeard. Finally, there is Aman's own move improvement and originality. However, due to the limitations of the venue, many moves were not used to the fullest. Some of the ultimates are actually deliberately restrained.
There are more and more onlookers at the entrance of the alley, all of whom are running from the banyan tree to listen to the book. There are live stunt performances on the spot, which are somewhat more exciting than what is written in the book.
The old beggar nodded his head again and again, and occasionally commented on a sentence or two, pointing out that it would be better if he wanted to dance here. After all, it was a bystander, and the old beggar looked like an expert.
After the old beggar's guidance, Ah Man danced more brilliantly. Won the applause and applause of the surrounding people.
The old beggar even began to peel peanuts and walnuts. It looks like a professional melon eater. After eating, the peanut shells and walnut pits, and even the watermelon skins had to be greeted by Aman.
However, Ah Man wielded the bamboo pole, like Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, and knocked out all the garbage in close proximity. Then, it won a round of applause.
After the dance, Ah Man stuck a stick on the ground, crossed his waist with one hand, and looked heroic, not even a little breathless.
The old beggar stood up, shook his fan, and analyzed leisurely: "When I first looked at your moves, they should come from the orthodox sect. Hiss...... Let me think...... I'm afraid this is from the twelve styles of the stick monk in the Zangbao Temple in the Xiyi Kingdom? ”
Ah Man hugged his fists and said: "My husband has a good eye!" ”
The old beggar continued to analyze: "But after dancing the tricks of the Treasure Temple, I don't see the moves in the back. This reminds me of the rumored ancestor of the Treasure Temple who has long since passed away. Is this his secret skill? ”
Ah Man clenched his fists again and lowered his eyes, not saying yes, nor saying no.
The old beggar frowned and continued: "However, as for the later ones, I can't say for sure. It can be described as unseen and unheard of. I don't know where the girl's moves come from? Come to think of it, it is the old man who has lived for so many years and is lonely and unheard. ”
