Chapter 30: The Fire Foreman
When the fire foreman saw it, his face changed suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, I shouldn't make my own decisions." The lesson of the boss is that I will let him go. "Let go of your finger and flash it aside.
Qiao Zhengyu couldn't believe his eyes, he was stunned for a long time, looked at Zhang Wuji, and said, "This 。。。。。。 ”
"Oh, Brother Qiao, I'll explain this later. The most important thing right now is that you and I can meet again, and there is nothing more joyful than this. Zhang Wuji said with a smile.
"Well, I can get away with it, thanks to this black girl, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you again. Qiao Zhengyu introduced Zhang Wuji to Lingqueer.
is also fateful, although the two met for the first time, they were like acquaintances who had seen each other for many years, and they were familiar at first sight.
Zhang Wuji said happily: "Sister Wu is really beautiful, my Zhang Wuji's parents died early, and I don't have any relatives, so it's better for you to be my sister." ”
Lingque'er also liked the little boy in front of her inexplicably, and immediately nodded and said, "Well, I also have this intention, brother." With just one call, the two hugged each other tightly like relatives who had been reunited after a long absence.
"Sister Wu!" Zhang Wuji couldn't hold back any longer, and threw himself into the arms of Lingque'er and cried.
After crying for a while, the two slowly separated.
Qiao Zhengyu said: "Wuji, it's not early, let's see if we can find a place to rest first." ”
Zhang Wuji patted his head and said, "Well, seeing that I'm happy, I just care about talking to you, and I actually forgot about this." Go, come with me, I'll take you to a good place. ”
Pulling the spirit bird and Qiao Zhengyu, he turned around and walked towards the mountain.
As soon as he took a step, Zhang Wuji seemed to remember something, turned to the fire foreman and said, "You are good at light work, go back and tidy up first, when I don't want to come back, the house is still in a mess." ”
The fire foreman nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'll go." The body shook and suddenly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Zhang Wuji seemed to be satisfied, and said to the two: "Okay, let's go." "I took Qiao Zhengyu and Lingque'er and stepped into the mountains and forests.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the group chats while walking, although it is difficult, but it is also at ease.
"Brother, who is that strange man, and how do you know him?" asked Lingque'er suddenly.
Zhang Wuji said: "His name is Fire Foreman Tuo, and he was originally a monk who cooked rice in Shaolin Temple. It was also a coincidence that he inadvertently let him learn peerless martial arts, and later injured many people in Shaolin Temple, in order to avoid pursuit, he ran here to live in seclusion. ”
"No wonder my grandfather said that there is a person with strong martial arts in this valley of the wicked, it seems that this person is this person. The sparrow said.
"However, his martial arts are so high, why is he still hiding, is he afraid of those people?"
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment and said, "This question is very profound, I haven't asked him, and I don't know." I think he probably likes to live a reclusive life, so that's why he hides. ”
Qiao Zhengyu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "No, I don't think it's that simple." With his current martial arts, there are few people in the rivers and lakes who are his opponents, and there is no need for him to be afraid of them at all. I think it's because of two words that he is willing to hide here and not want to go out for the rest of his life. ”
"Oh, which two words?" Zhang Wuji and Lingque'er asked almost in unison.
"'Jianghu'! It's very simple, as long as there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be vendettas. Even if a person's martial arts are high, they can't go against the entire rivers and lakes, rather than this, it is better to quit the rivers and lakes and end up at ease. The so-called 'people in the rivers and lakes, but they can't help themselves' is this truth. ”
Zhang Wuji frowned and said, "Brother Qiao doesn't say that I still understand, but I don't seem to understand what you said." Isn't it, Sister Wu, do you understand?"
Lingque'er shook her head and said, "I don't know this very well, but listening to what Qiao Gongzi said seems to be very reasonable, maybe it's true." ”
Qiao Zhengyu said with a smile: "It's best if you don't understand, in fact, I also know a little bit about the rivers and lakes, and sometimes it's better not to figure it out, so as not to add trouble to yourself." ”
After a pause, he said, "Wuji, what's the matter with you and that fire foreman Tuo, why does it seem that he is afraid of you?"
Zhang Wuji smiled: "Oh, in fact, it's not, the reason why he is afraid of me is because he has something to ask me, so he let me do this." Otherwise, even ten Zhang Wuji would have died a long time ago. ”
"Do you have something to ask you for?" Qiao Zhengyu questioned.
"No, you don't know him, how can he ask you for something? I don't believe it, you must have lied to me, right? ”
Zhang Wuji glanced at him and said, "Really, because 。。。。。。 Because he wanted to take me as a disciple and teach me the 'Nine Yang Divine Skills'. ”
"Ahh
Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "You fainted to the ground that day, and the fire foreman Tuo was going to make up for you again, but I saw that the situation was urgent, so I stepped forward to block you." You also know that his martial arts are so high, how can I stop it, he was slapped heavily on the chest, and he fell to the ground.
"But strange to say, although I was slapped in the face, I felt indescribably comfortable, and after resting for a while, I actually sat up from the ground. When he saw that I was safe and sound, he was immediately shocked, stepped forward and lifted me up, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly laughed and said, "Wizard, really a martial arts wizard." And they threw me to the ground. ”
Qiao Zhengyu listened, nodded and said secretly: "Well, Zhang Wuji was hit by the Xuanming Divine Palm, and the 'Jiuyang Divine Skill' is his nemesis. It seems that all this is also arranged in the dark. "Sigh.
I only heard Zhang Wuji say again: "I was terrified in my heart, and I just said that he wanted to be unfavorable to me." But an unexpected scene happened, he actually 'pounced' in front of me and begged me to be his apprentice. What do you say to pass on a peerless martial art to me, 'Jiuyang Divine Skill' finally has a successor and so on.
"At that time, I saw that he was very emotional and his words were extreme, but he was not clear-headed. In order to save his life, he temporarily agreed to him. Who knew that since that day, he seemed to be a different person, no longer fierce and domineering to me, but obedient to me. ”
"Well, the fire foreman Tuo has peerless divine skills, if he teaches you the 'Jiuyang Divine Skill', I am afraid that there will be few opponents in the rivers and lakes. In this way, it will not be difficult to avenge your parents' revenge. Qiao Zhengyu only said that Zhang Wuji would definitely agree to the fire foreman for the sake of his parents' hatred, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Who knew that Zhang Wuji shook his head and said, "Brother Qiao, having said that, I don't want to do this. ”
"Oh, why is that?" said the sparrow.
Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Although the fire foreman Tuo is fierce on the outside, he is also a poor person, if I learn the magic skills, I will definitely leave here." He has been lonely all his life, and if I leave, it will be too cruel for him. So, I don't want to learn 'Jiuyang Divine Skill'. ”
Qiao Zhengyu said secretly: "Zhang Wuji has lived on Ice and Fire Island with his parents and others since he was a child, and he understands the meaning of loneliness better than ordinary people. He did this, perhaps under the influence of Xie Xun, and regarded the fire foreman Tuo as Xie Xun. ”
Nodding his head, he said, "Wuji, I can understand your feelings, but have you forgotten your master, and your poor father-in-law, they are all looking for you, waiting for you to return to their side." Moreover, today's martial arts are chaotic, and a hero is needed to lead them to the right path, eliminate the traitors, and return the martial arts to a peaceful place. ”
"This 。。。。。。 Zhang Wuji seemed to be moved, and lowered his head to think.
Qiao Zhengyu continued: "As far as I know, the Six Great Martial Arts factions have been preparing to move against the Ming Sect, and they will not give up until they are eliminated. Among them, there are court eagles and dogs to provoke it, and major events may happen at any time in the rivers and lakes in the next few years.
"Wuji, you are young and vigorous now, and it is a good time to practice. When the divine skills are completed one day, the responsibility for saving the once-in-a-century disaster of martial arts belongs to you, what are you hesitating about. ”
"Well, Brother Qiao has a point. Although I don't know how to fight and kill on the rivers and lakes, I also know that when you encounter a fierce beast, either you kill it or be eaten by it. Therefore, be merciful when you should be merciful, and be merciful when you should act, and never hesitate. The sparrow nodded.
Zhang Wuji pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Well, Brother Qiao and Sister Wu are very right, I almost delayed the big thing for personal reasons, I really shouldn't have it." I will definitely remember the teachings of the two of you and practice the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill' well. ”
Pointing to the front, he said, "Brother Qiao, Sister Wu, the front is it, let's hurry over." The three of them quickened their pace, and in a moment they came to a wooden house.
The wooden house was small, supported by four bamboos as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and surrounded by countless pieces of wood. Although it is not big, it is scattered, standing in all directions in the mountains and forests.
Lingque'er said: "Well, the appearance of such a hut in this barren mountain and wild range, although it feels a little weird, it is also a unique flavor. When I pushed the door open, I felt a smell of aroma.
"It's so fragrant, it smells like rice. ”
When the three of them entered the wooden house, they saw a thick smoke billowing from the corner, and a figure was shuttling through it.
The man was none other than the fire foreman, but he was flustered, and he seemed to be surprisingly busy at the moment. Sometimes he squatted on the ground and added firewood and grass to the stove, sometimes he got up and lifted the lid to prevent the hot water from overflowing, and sometimes he danced his hands to fan away the choking smoke. is so busy that his face has long been ink, and he can't see anything else except a pair of eyes.
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'll help you. The sparrow walked up a few steps, picked up a piece of firewood, squatted in front of the stove, and gently played in it. I saw her gently fan the stove from time to time, and after only a while, the smoke suddenly decreased a lot, and after a while, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the stove was red.
