Chapter 99, apprenticeship

Lin Yi stretched his neck to look over, only to see a dark-skinned middle-aged miner surrounded in the center, he was clutching the big money in his hand tightly, with excitement on his face, but also a trace of trepidation.

"Tut, a piece of mutton fat is at least a thousand dollars, even if half of it is taken away by the Black Dragon Gang, there are five hundred! Kuroko, you're amazing! ”

"How long has it been since mutton fat has been produced? Kuroko is lucky, you have to invite us to drink tonight! ”

A group of people were making a commotion, and Lin Yi saw that not far away, a group of people were staring at this side, with unkind eyes.

Lin Yi estimated that this miner named Heizi would suffer.

But it had nothing to do with me, and I turned around and went home.

"That's still too little money......"

Lying on the cold straw mat, Lin Yi gnawed on the big money in his hand and shook his head: "If you want to make a lot of money, you can't let the beasts of the Black Dragon Gang peel their skins, it's best to take them to the town and sell them, but ......"

The rules set by the Black Dragon Gang came to his mind: anyone who takes the ore out of the mine without permission and bypasses the Black Dragon Gang to trade will break his hands and feet!

In my memory, several people have become invalids because of this.

"Damn, these brutes can do anything!"

Lin Yi thought secretly: "That's it, save all the ore you have dug up, take it to the town and sell it together, get the money and go directly to learn martial arts, and if you can't learn it, you won't come back!" ”

As long as he has martial arts protection, he will not be afraid of the Black Dragon Gang, a group of bullies.

On the morning of this day, Lin Yi went to mine as usual, and heard that Heizi's house had been robbed.

A group of masked men rushed into Kuroko's house with the guys, not only robbed all the money, but also beat Kuroko severely, and now there is only one breath left.

"In this world, you must learn some kung fu to defend yourself!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to keep it even if you have money!"

Lin Yi thought to himself.

The tragedy that happened to Kuroko made him even more determined to practice martial arts.

Let yourself live first, and then slowly look for opportunities to cultivate immortals!

Otherwise, if he didn't wait for him to cultivate immortals, he might die at the hands of these robbers and villains.

After all, mortals are like mustard, and rotten lives are worthless.

Night.

The potatoes boiling in the iron pot were steaming, and Lin Yi was chatting with Wang Qianqian while eating.

To be honest, he doesn't want to talk to this lucky girl at all now, it can make him angry!

"The prince spent a lot of money to ask the three masters to teach me martial arts, and I practiced every day, and I was tired to death!"

"Fortunately, every day the nurse stews rock sugar bird's nest soup for me."

Wang Qianqian complained, and Lin Yi also complained in his heart: "You still dislike it? Otherwise, let's change! ”

"Lin Yi, how are you over there?"

"It's all right! Mine every day, nibble on potatoes! ”

"Ah, how nutritious are potatoes? You eat meat. ”

“……”

Lin Yi really wants to catch Wang Qianqian in front of her and let her experience her current life!

Wang Qianqian continued to chat with Lin Yi while enjoying the maid's legs: "I think you're too bitter, otherwise you can quit, and I'll do it myself." ”

"I can't give up halfway when it comes to talking!"

Lin Yi refused, in order to let his mother and father live a good life, what is it for him to endure a little hardship.

Besides, he is immortal, and good days are ahead!

In the days that followed, Lin Yi was two points and one line, mining non-stop every day, secretly accumulating ores.

During this period, the jade merchant came two more times, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Black Dragon Gang, Lin Yi would also sell some white jade and blood red, making a hundred and ten big bucks each time, which did not attract attention at all.

In fact, he had accumulated more jade in his hands, and even a piece of black paste, all of which he hid in a secret place, which outsiders would never find.

"Well, it should be almost, come out of the mine tomorrow and go to town in the evening!"

Towards the end of the month, Li Yi's severed hands began to stare at Lin Yi in order to prevent him from escaping.

In fact, Lin Yi's money on hand now is enough to repay the loan shark in Li's severed hand, but he knows that the wolf will never be fed!

Li Severed Hand will try his best to squeeze more money out of himself, and may even use violence to force him!

So, he had to leave the mine.

Wait until you have the ability to protect yourself, and then come back!

The next day, the mine.

"White jade and mutton fat are in the same stone layer, however, the conditions for the formation of mutton fat are much harsher than white jade, to put it bluntly, it is a variant of white jade......"

Silently recalling the content in "Jin Shi Zhi", Lin Yi kept moving, he had a hunch that he would have a big harvest today!

Sure enough, a pickaxe went down and turned out two white-flowered stones, one of which was the size of a thumb, milky white all over, and smooth as fat in the hand, which was mutton fat jade!

Lin Yi was so excited that he immediately put away the mutton fat jade, not daring to take it out and take a closer look, it would be bad if someone found out.

After that, he continued mining like no one else until dusk.

"Dust."

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw Chen Bahu with a few people, looking at him with a smile.

Lin Yi's heart sank: "Could it be that my secret jade was discovered?" ”

"No, I was very careful when I hid the jade, no one could see it!"

His heart was very chaotic, but the expression on his face remained the same, and Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and gave his hand: "Master Tiger." ”

Chen Bahu is also a kung fu person, Lin Yi heard that he practiced the "Twelve Ways Fuhu Boxing", and now he has reached the stage of Xiaocheng and can beat ten of himself.

Chen Bahu patted Lin Yi on the shoulder: "You have made a lot of money from these shipments, it seems that you have been lucky recently and dug up a lot of jade, right?" ”

"Master Tiger laughed." Lin Yi also greeted him with a smile: "It's all some ordinary white jade blood red, it's not worth a few dollars......"

"Hmm." Chen Bahu nodded: "You are eighteen this year, right?" ”

"Yes, eighteen."

"Your parents left early, and I have no other relatives, so I, as the local steward, should take care of you."

He smiled and said, "I see, you should also ask for a wife for yourself, and leave a queen for your Xia family." ”

Lin Yi sighed deliberately: "I'm a poor boy, marrying me can only endure a lifetime of hardship, so don't harm other girls." ”

Stay? Continue to be exploited by you when leeks?

"That's not right!" Chen Bahu waved his hand: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great!" ”

"As the saying goes, people have ups and downs, and tiles have ups and downs. Maybe when you're going to be developed. ”

"Let's go, Master Tiger, I'll take you to see the world!"

Then, without saying anything, he pulled Lin Yi away.

When Lin Yi arrived at the place, he found out that Chen Bahu took him to a casino, stuffed him with ten big money, and let him gamble to his heart's content.

also said that if he wins, Lin Yi will be returned, and if he loses, he will be counted.

Lin Yi snorted coldly in his heart: "This casino is opened by your family, you want to turn me into a bad gambler, you can't extricate yourself, you will never turn over, how vicious your mind is!" ”

But he still remained silent, wandering around with money, just not gambling.

In the end, he returned the money in full, and said embarrassedly: "Master Tiger, I'm stupid, I don't understand this, and I'm not interested, but I still like mining." ”

Chen Bahu pouted: "Alas, you kid, I kindly guide you, maybe you will turn over once and win a lot of money, and you will have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, but you don't appreciate it, it's a pity." ”

After another confession, Lin Yi left the casino and returned home, he still had mutton fat jade on him, so he had to go back quickly.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Yi locked the door tightly, and at the same time looked out through the crack in the door and the window to see if anyone was staring at him.

Seeing that there was no abnormality, he began to pack his things and prepare to leave for Qingfeng Mansion.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, the house is surrounded by walls, and only his ragged clothes are there.

Although this home is a little broken, after all, he has lived there for several days, and he also has memories of the original owner from childhood to adulthood in his mind, which makes Lin Yi a little reluctant.

He shook his head, leaving today is for the good of tomorrow, go!

A small bag of ore was carefully hidden on his body, and he did not dare to light a torch to illuminate it, so he walked out of the mine in the dark.

It wasn't until dawn that Lin Yi dared to find a place to stop and rest after leaving the scope of the mine.

Qingfeng Mansion is a day and a night away from Hanxingling, and there are still three potatoes in his arms, which are enough for him to eat on the road today, and when the jade is exchanged for money, he has to improve his food.

In order to protect himself, Lin Yi didn't dare to take the big road, for fear of encountering robbers, he picked a small road to walk, and it took a few more hours to come to Qingfeng Mansion.

This ancient city is made of bluestone, and the walls are towering and majestic.

There were officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and the flow of people entering the city lined up in long queues, and they were checked one by one.

Lin Yi was thin and small, dressed in tatters, inconspicuous, and even the officers and soldiers didn't bother to interrogate him, waved his hand casually, and drove him in like a beggar.

Walking into the city, the slate stone pavement, the road is wide, the flow of people is like a shuttle, the shops on both sides are lined up, and all kinds of goods are placed on the ground, which is dazzling.

The shouting of the merchants, the performance of the jugglers attracted loud applause, and the crying of children and the cries of cows, sheep and livestock were intermingled, which made Lin Yi, a modern person, feel very novel.

However, he did not forget the purpose of his trip, and did not dare to stay long, covering the part where the jade was hidden, looking around for pawnshops or jewelry shops, wanting to make a move.

Soon, he chose one, and as soon as he walked in, he was bombarded out, thinking that he was called Hanako and came to ask for food.

"I don't want food, I want to sell jade."

Lin Yi showed a piece of blood red, the latter's eyes lit up, and said, "You little name Huazi, where did you get the jade?" Stealing, right? ”

"I'm a miner!" Lin Yi put the jade away and asked, "Do you accept it?" Don't accept me to go to someone else's house! ”

"Collect!"

The owner of the jewelry store took Lin Yi in and inspected his jade, and found that it was all real, and the quality of the jade was very good, which could be called the top grade.

After that, Lin Yi bargained with his boss and sold the jade at a level slightly lower than the market price, making a fortune of 5,000 yuan.

Five thousand dollars are too heavy, inconvenient to carry, and too conspicuous, Lin Yi asked the boss to exchange it for a silver ticket for him, and all the money in Chen Guo was exchanged.

Five thousand dollars is equivalent to fifty taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

"If you have money, go and open meat!"

Lin Yi's eyes were green from hunger now, and he insisted on a day and a night relying on three potatoes, and if he didn't eat again, he would faint from hunger.

found a small restaurant, ate a bowl of beef noodles beautifully, and ordered a pot of turbid wine, Lin Yi ate sweetly.

Seeing an old woman begging in the store with a poor four-year-old girl, Lin Yi sighed slightly and asked the store to serve them noodles to eat.

"In this world, the people are suffering!"

After eating, Lin Yi went to buy a new set of clothes to change into, apprenticed to learn art, how can he dress like a beggar?

However, Lin Yi didn't know much about the martial arts family in Qingfeng Mansion, so he inquired around, and finally memorized all the information he had collected in his mind and sorted it out.

"There are two martial arts families in Qingfeng Mansion, the first one is the Longwei Martial Arts Pavilion, the owner of the hall is called Li Yi, a set of Seven Evil Fists to shock the martial arts."

"The second family is the Yue family sword, the head of the family is called Fan Zhi, it is said that the swordsmanship is exquisite and peerless."

"These two families are related to the Chen royal family, and Li Yi's sister is the concubine of the lord of Chen Guo, and she has been very favored recently."

"And Fan Zhi's brother is the general of Chen Guo, who holds military power and is very respected by the lord of the country."

"But I heard that these two families are fighting openly and secretly, and no one is convinced by the other...... But it has nothing to do with me, I'm just here to learn martial arts, and I'm going to learn to achieve something. ”

Lin Yi planned to go to the Heaven-Shaking Martial Arts Hall first, because he preferred to speak with his fists.

Longwei Martial Arts Hall, Gaomen Compound, is very magnificent, there are two strong men standing at the door, and the muscles of their arms are thicker than Lin Yi's waist.

Lin Yi stepped forward and bowed to the two strong men: "Little Fang Yu, I admire the prestige of Pavilion Master Li, and I want to worship the door to learn art!" ”

"Is there a referee?"

"Nope."

"Have you practiced before?"

"Not either."

The two strong men suddenly showed impatience: "Boy, learning martial arts is not as easy as you think, go back!" ”

"I have prepared a generous gift for worship."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took out a five-tael silver ticket, handed it to the two of them, and said, "I'm sorry for the two of you to report it." ”

Seeing Lin Yi say this, one of the strong men took it with a smile and said, "It's no problem for our brother to help you report, but the owner won't accept you, but it has nothing to do with our brother, it's all up to you!" ”

"I know."

Afterwards, Lin Yi was taken into the courtyard and waited outside the lobby, and the strong man went to report to the hall owner.

At this time, another strong man came in from outside and brought a young man in luxurious clothes, looking at the strong man's respectful appearance to the young man, Lin Yicai's identity as the other party should be very special.

"Young Master Xue, you wait here, the hall master and his old man will come out immediately." The strong man nodded to the young man in Chinese clothes and helped him pour tea.

The young man in Chinese clothes nodded, waved his hand to let the strong man go on his own, he looked at Lin Yi and looked up and down: "You are also here to learn from the teacher?" ”

"Hmm."

Lin Yi nodded, not wanting to talk to the boy more.

However, the young man was very interested in Lin Yi, opened the chatterbox, and talked to him endlessly.

"Hey, what's your name? My name is Xue Yue, and my father is a wealthy merchant in the city, and he is very rich. ”

"Hmm."

"Actually, I don't want to learn any martial arts at all, I like to paint, I want to paint a masterpiece!"

"Hmm."

"You say, what should I do to get that pavilion owner to refuse to take me as an apprentice? My father gave him five hundred taels of silver, alas! ”

Lin Yixin said: "Then you just give me the quota?" ”

Who knows, Xue Yue also spoke: "Otherwise, you will get it for me!" I sneaked back and kept drawing! ”

Lin Yi was speechless in his heart: "This pure loser! ”

A middle-aged man walked up from the back hall, his expression was majestic, and he carried a strong momentum on his body, which made Lin Yi involuntarily feel nervous, which was the instinctive reaction of creatures when they felt threatened.

"What is the realm of this guy's martial arts strength? Surely it's not an entry, external or internal strength? Lin Yi guessed in his heart.

Li Yi didn't even look at Lin Yi, walked directly to Xue Yue, and said with a pleasant face: "Nephew Xue Xian, Ling Zun said that you have liked to practice martial arts since you were a child, let me teach you martial arts, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you!" ”

Xue Yue grimaced and bowed: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Li." ”

"Virtuous nephew don't have to be polite, wait a minute, after the apprenticeship ceremony and the apprenticeship wine, you will call me master in the future."

"Yes."

"If the virtuous nephew is not used to living with me, he can go home on his own, and just remember to come to practice on time every day."

Li Yi's care for Xue Yue was really meticulous, Lin Yi was left aside, like air, no one cared about it.

After Xue Yue left, he turned around and looked at Lin Yi, at this time, half an hour had passed.

"You want to learn from a teacher?"

Li Yi's attitude took a big turn, with a majestic face.

Lin Yi hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I want to learn martial arts, I don't want to be a miner for the rest of my life and be bullied, I want to get ahead!" ”

"Well, a little ambitious, let me see if your physique is suitable for martial arts."

Li Yi pressed his hand on Lin Yi's lower abdomen and said, "Inhale heavily until you can't inhale it, and then slowly spit it out." ”

Lin Yi did so, Li Yi felt it for a while, then frowned, and said, "No, your dantian is too small!" Dingtian practiced to the third level of entry, there is no future! ”
