Chapter 006: A Loving Mother Has Many Defeated Children
Master Lingzhi, this is Li Kui's cheap master.
Don't look at the land of Qilu since ancient times, most areas have the tradition of practicing martial arts, but practicing martial arts is practicing martial arts, but if you practice the ability to break through the rivers and lakes, it is really impossible without the guidance of famous teachers.
As far as the people of Baizhang Village are concerned, there is also a tradition of practicing martial arts, but there are only two people in the village who are good at kung fu, one is Li Quan, whose brain is burned out, and now he is a fool, and his combat strength is between 0 and 100 at will. But most of the time he slipped on the number 0, basically no lethality, which is also his performance on weekdays.
But if Li Quan had a piece of meat in his hand, when he smelled the meat and wanted to eat it but was reluctant to eat it, an eyeless man stood in front of him, reaching out to snatch his meat. The strength suddenly recovered to 100, and there is even a possibility of breaking through 200.
This is the fool, life is simple and easy.
And then there's Li Kui.
If it weren't for Li Kui's kung fu, the old patriarch probably wouldn't have the heart to dredge up the relationship and let him be a catcher.
As far as Li Kui's martial arts are concerned, even among the generals, he is also outstanding. In particular, the blade is a rare double axe, which belongs to the outlier of heavy weapons, and the cultivation of the body is not simple, and understanding, talent, and strength are indispensable. It is necessary to have both agility and cunning in footwork, as well as fierceness and tyranny in force. How many ordinary rivers and lakes come to him, they are all abused dishes in front of him.
Li Kui was the first person to hear about the Venerable Master from the people around him, and he was also a person he could trust. But as it turned out, the Master was not a good person.
This made him even more apprehensive about meeting the Venerable Being.
Twice.
Twice the Venerable Master put a signal of meeting by his window.
The first time, he missed the appointment.
At that time, his body had not recovered at all, and he even stumbled to walk, so he naturally did not dare to venture out of the village. And the most recent one made him feel a sense of urgency for time.
Will Li Kui's master be a good person?
I'm afraid that it is really as the old patriarch said, his identity is suspicious, and he even hides an ulterior secret.
Besides, being able to teach a master like Li Kui is not heinous, if not heinous, but also a murderer.
What Li Kui couldn't imagine was that the old patriarch had even received a sum of money from the Venerable Master, which was regarded as a protection fee. The old man was too fat, and he dared to take money even though he knew that he was a wicked person.
The Bailing Temple has been barren for many years, and suddenly someone is alone here, and once someone from the government asks, without the guarantor, the whereabouts of the Lingzhi Master will be exposed. As a last resort, he gave the third uncle a sum of money, and then accepted Li Quan as a disciple, but all this changed four years ago.
Li Quan suddenly had a high fever, and people in the mountains couldn't afford to seek medical advice when they were sick. According to the old patriarch's recollections, the Venerable Master Lingzhi came once during Li Quan's illness, and after seeing Li Quan's symptoms, he left with a single sentence: "There are times in life when you have to have them, and there are times in life when you have to ask for them." ”
This sounds very heart-wrenching, just being sick, but it gives people a feeling of being depressed and preparing for the afterlife.
The old patriarch probably began to dislike the Lingzhi Master at that time, after all, Li Quan was also his favorite, and he was an outstanding descendant of the family who had high hopes. In addition, he was also suspicious of the Venerable Master Lingzhi, believing that Li Quan's illness for no reason was probably related to the exercises granted by the Venerable Master. But this matter cannot be verified, and it will be closed.
So much so that after Li Kui fell ill, the old patriarch was not allowed to let people notify the Lingzhi Master at all. For half a month, Li Kui stiffened up on the kang for half a month, and he survived, he was a hero, and he couldn't stand it, that is, he responded to that sentence - there was no forcible request in life.
Fortunately, Li Kui survived.
Not only did he survive, but his brain was not burned out like Li Quan, and he was in a mess all day long. His temper seems to have improved a lot, at least there are no more troubles in the village with his peers.
But these two incidents sounded the alarm in the heart of the old patriarch, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, Li Quan learned martial arts from the Master Lingzhi, and fell ill at a critical moment, and Li Kui met again.
There are many coincidences, and it becomes deliberate.
With this worry, Li Kui and Li Quan walked along the village path to their homes. Along the way, Li Kuiyi was thinking about the identity of the Lingzhi Master, not to mention sneaky, especially when he came to his roof quietly, people who practice martial arts are people who are deaf and clear-sighted, and it is difficult to escape the keen perception even if it is windy. But the two times the Master came to his roof, he didn't notice it. You know, his perception is very good, and I don't know if this talent is brought about by rebirth, or if it is a benefit after practicing martial arts. In short, he could sense even if a rat was walking on the beam, even if it was asleep.
But when a large living man walked to the windowsill less than a kilometer away from his sleep and left a token, he could not find it, which is tantamount to saying that the Master of Wisdom had the ability to take his life anytime and anywhere, but he did not use it.
No, I have to go and see him once to see where this Master of Wisdom came from, and even if he falls out in the future, he should be prepared for it.
Back at home, Zhang's greeted him early, bypassed Li Quan, a stupid big man, and ran straight to Li Kui: "My son, when will you go to the county on an errand?" ”
"This ...... Mother, I'm afraid I have to think about it for the long term at this time. ”
Zhang jumped to his feet angrily and scolded angrily: "Which one doesn't open his eyes to rob my son's livelihood? ”
"Mother, it's still said at home, don't let outsiders hear it, make people laugh." Li Kui is also a big head, before he was reborn, he was born in a single-parent family, and his parents had their own lives and families, but he forgot about him as a big living person. Growing up in front of my grandparents, the family relationship between my parents has become extremely distant.
When he grew up and the old people passed away one after another, he couldn't accept the two families who were estranged from him.
As a result, he became a carefree person.
But in the days after he crossed over, he often heard cries of endless pain suppressed in his ears. The moment he opened his eyes, a thin and unshapedly woman, but she showed tenacity like thorns, and she had been serving her son in front of her son for half a month when Li Kui was sick in bed. Not only that, but she even knelt down and begged anyone who might lend her rice in order to be able to let Li Kui eat a bite of millet paste.
This is a great love, and at the same time, it also melts Li Kui's heart as cold as pig iron.
Facing the Zhang family, for a while, he felt guilty that his appearance took away the real son of the Zhang family. If he hadn't woken up, maybe he would have fallen into an inextricable self-blame, and in the end he would have had to go far away.
But he's gone, what can Zhang do?
Fortunately, at that time, Li Kui figured it out, he took away Zhang's son, so from now on, he will be Zhang's son!
However, Zhang's body also has a lot of quirks that make him speechless, in fact, it is related to this era, Zhang's who has not been out of the mountain village much, has no vision and the like. Except for the doting on her youngest son, it seems that everything in the world has nothing to do with her.
Of course, Zhang's life is destined to be more tragic than the old patriarch in this life, and if there is no Li Kui's rebirth, I am afraid that she will fall into an endless dilemma in this life, until she is eaten by a tiger.
If he wanted to convince a woman, a stubborn woman, Li Kui didn't have much experience, so he could only say it to his mother Zhang again with the words of the old patriarch.
But......
The effect is amazingly good.
"My son is very smart and comparable, and he can read without a problem."
"My son is blessed with great fortune, so he can naturally be high in the middle."
……
Even Li Kui felt that he was a little blind in front of the Zhang family, and he said that the imperial examination was too easy. This is not the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is the most dazzling Northern Song Dynasty of scholars. How difficult it is to be a Jinshi in these years, a giant in the literary world, Ouyang Xiu has failed twice; Su Xun, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, was even more disheartened and had to take the exam with his son......
Of course, if it was the imperial examination of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not easy, unlike the Northern Song Dynasty, the state capital could determine the identity of the son. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the township test of a province blocked many scholars under the stone beam of Yuelongmen.
Even if it is relatively easy to show talents, they also need the assessment of the first level of the government, and they also need the joint assessment of the Taoist Yamen, which is much more difficult than that of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Northern Song Dynasty's Juzi test is more like the Xiucai exam in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Relatively speaking, it's a lot simpler. As for the test, isn't this looking for abuse? The quality of Jinshi in the Northern Song Dynasty is probably the highest in all dynasties, especially the literary accomplishment, which is even more unattainable. Li Kui felt that he ate fish heads every day to replenish his brain, and he couldn't catch up!
It is easy to raise the identity of the child, and the imperial examination of the Northern Song Dynasty can be decided in the state. It is easier than the Xiucai test in the Ming and Qing dynasties. As long as it is not in Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Lianghu and other roads in the imperial examination disaster area. It's so easy elsewhere. Li Kui felt that he was not stupid, as long as he worked hard enough, he still had the hope of becoming a lifter in Yizhou. If you are lucky, you can also mix the test and go to Tokyo City to feel the atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty scientific expedition. After all, there is a yard in the scientific research school district, and this self-confidence comes with the right benefits.
But Zhong Jinshi, he really didn't dare to think about it!
But in Zhang's mouth, it seems that as long as Li Kui participates in the imperial examination, wouldn't it be easy for a middle jinshi to hold the handle?
Thinking of this, Li Kui couldn't help but let go of himself, but when he spoke, his heart became more and more empty: "What my mother said is that this Zhongjin Shi is also carrying a head on two shoulders, and the child lacks nothing, so I don't believe that he can still humiliate the child's talent?" My son may be able to pass the exam as well. ”
Zhang said happily; "My son has great ambitions, but he can't go to school without money, so it's better to sell his land and house and give my son a study."
Until this moment, Li Kui seems to have sobered up a little, his family is poor, the land is just a vegetable plot, which can only be sold to the same village, not to mention the house, two of the four houses collapsed, who wants?
Maybe at this time, Li Kui somewhat understood, why the original Li Kui was so unreasonable, and so stubborn until he had a tendon, probably because he met a doting mother.
This is also why after Li Kui killed someone, he fled to Jiangzhou for many years and did not return home, and his mother would cry blind because she missed her son.
In this life, he probably won't let the Zhang family suffer such an accident, he feels that he should be able to do it, because this is his family, the only family.
