Chapter 2: Martial Arts

The first rays of the morning sun shone on the ruins of the houses.

Nian Rongli struggled to get up from the rubble, and no living creatures were found beside him, except for the wreckage of the house.

On the Purple Court Heavenly Palace, "Your celestial phenomena are getting more and more accurate, melting." Mipel sat lazily on the throne with his eyes closed.

"What now? Do you need to send more people to retrieve the target? Nian Rongqing occupied the celestial phenomena, frowned and asked Mipel for instructions.

"There's no need, it's not the time yet, we don't need to send troops to the mortal realm now, I'm afraid it will disturb some organizations and the big clans of the mortal realm. The top priority is to steadily improve our own strength, and it is not a good thing to start a war with the mortal realm too soon. Mipel waved his hand and opened his eyes.

Miper spread his wings and slowly flew towards the easternmost window of the Purple Court Heavenly Palace, clenched his fist, put his palm in front of the window, and the next second the window directly turned into fragments all over the ground.

"Old madman, I'll clean you up sooner or later!" Mieper looked out the window and said fiercely.

Ten years later –

Huayang Mountain. "Master, you are too partial, every day you teach your sister martial arts, but let me make wine for you every day, I am really convinced." Ji An complained.

The old man lay lazily on the bamboo chair, holding the wine jar with a sip left in his hand: "Hey, what do you little doll know?" What is there to do when practicing martial arts is so tiring and dirty? Teach you how to make wine for the teacher, and when you grow up and have a craft, you can rely on the craft to eat and marry a big girl, how good it is. ”

Ji An took a bamboo stool and sat next to the old man: "I think you just want to trick me into making wine for you every day." ”

"You stinky boy." The old man scolded with a smile, stretched out his fist and pretended to hit Ji An, who hurriedly raised his hands on his head to block it.

The old man touched his beard and laughed: "Look at you, stinky boy, what kind of martial arts do you learn when you are so timid?" Let's learn how to make sake so that you can support yourself in the future. ”

Ji An pouted, the fist in his hand clenched: "Then why do you let Senior Sister practice martial arts?" Senior sister, you teach her a girl, but you let me make wine every day, I also want to be chivalrous and righteous, and laugh proudly, master! ”

The old man's expression became serious: "Chivalrous and righteous? Smiling proudly? Who are you? With your stinky milk, no father and no mother, and a penniless stinky boy still wants to go to the end of the world with a sword? ”

Ji An was enraged by these words, and yelled at the old man: "I called you master for a few years, and that's how you see me, right?" Think I'm just an orphan who can't do anything? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji An regretted a little, since he could remember, there was only one senior sister who was two years older than him - Ye Yuqing and the master, and the master was even more difficult, an old man worked hard to support the two of them by making wine.

The old man ignored Ji An and walked straight towards the hut. The back of the old man Ji An, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, holding his head in both hands, fell into deep regret.

The old man entered the house, took two bamboo baskets, walked to Ji An's side slowly, and patted Ji An's head with his hand: "Let's go, boy, your senior sister is coming back soon, let's pick some wild vegetables." ”

The old man walked in front, and Ji An followed. "Boy, it's still the usual wild vegetables." Ji An responded weakly.

The old man taught Ji An as he walked: "The master doesn't look down on you, it's just that in this era of involuntary self-determination, you have no ambition and strength, and you just want to pursue that ethereal freedom, and you are destined to lose a lot of what you cherish." ”

Ji An nodded, but was still absent-minded. Seeing this, the old man sighed helplessly: "You will understand when you really face it in the future." So saying, the two went into the woods.

Ji An picked a few handfuls of wild vegetables and threw them at the bamboo basket behind him. Suddenly, a rabbit jumped out from in front of Ji An, which immediately attracted Ji An's attention.

Ji An immediately became excited: "The master has rabbits!" We've got meat to eat tonight. After that, before the old man spoke, Ji An chased after the rabbit.

The old man looked at Ji An's departing back: It's been a long time since I've eaten meat, and it just so happens that the sunny girl will come back tonight, so let's just let that stinky boy be willful.

Ji An fights against the wine altar every day to make wine, and his physical fitness is excellent. Ji An pounced and stretched out his hands forward, and then saw that the rabbit had been caught by Ji An.

Ji An grabbed the rabbit's ears with one hand, raised the rabbit above his head and admired it: This rabbit is good, and it can be compared with the big rooster brought back by the senior sister last time.

Ji An was still admiring the rabbit in his hand when a black-haired man suddenly appeared in front of Ji An.

Ji An was startled by this sudden man, and after retreating a few steps, he tripped over a small rock, fell to the ground, and the rabbit in his hand also took the opportunity to escape.

Ji An looked at the fleeing rabbit and shouted, "My rabbit! Then he angrily stood up and pointed at the man and said, "You pay me for the rabbit!" That's going to be left for Senior Sister! ”

"Senior sister?" The black-haired man was silent for a moment: it seemed that he was right. At this time, Ji An was still scolding in front of the man.

The man came back to his senses and raised his hand in the direction where the rabbit had fled, and the rabbit began to be dragged into the man's hand by an invisible force.

After a while, the rabbit lost its strength and was obediently caught by the man. The man handed the rabbit to Ji'an.

Ji An was stunned when she saw the scene just now! Seeing that Ji An was slow to move, the man said, "Your rabbit." ”

Only then did Ji An come to his senses and took the rabbit in the man's hand tremblingly. "What kind of magic did you just use, big brother?" Ji An asked in surprise.

"Sorcery? It's just a little trick that doesn't work. The man smiled in response. Then will you teach me, big brother? If I learn this, I can catch rabbits every day! Ji An said excitedly.

The man was still smiling: "I just heard the little brother talk about the master, since he already has a master, how can a person who practices martial arts fall for me who can't be on the stage?" ”

Ji An suddenly replied in disappointment like a deflated ball: "My master never taught me martial arts, only taught me winemaking. ”

The man looked at the boy in front of him and thought: Winemaking? I see, it seems that the old madman is really interested in this child.

Ji An was a little disappointed when he saw that the man had not replied for a long time. At this time, the man spoke: "Do you really want to learn?" Ji An nodded hurriedly.

"Where do you make wine every day?" The man asked. "There is a small spring next to that big flower-picking tree on the east side of the mountain." Ji An replied truthfully. "Going alone?" The man was a little worried that there would be no smile on his lips, Ji An nodded, and the man got the answer he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!" The man said with a smile. Hearing that the man was going to teach himself, the corners of Ji An's mouth turned up uncontrollably.

"But not now, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow when you go to brew wine. When the time comes, I will not only teach you this little trick, but I will also teach you more martial arts. The man said slyly.

Ji An jumped up excitedly: "Okay, whoever didn't come is a puppy!" ”

The man nodded, and Ji An saw the man nodding and picked up the rabbit and looked at the sky.

"It's not too early, I have to go, or the master will have to teach me a lesson again!" Ji An smiled, waved his hand at the man and ran away.
