"Where is this? Where am I?"

"Is this the Netherworld?"

I saw a middle-aged man with gauze wrapped in gauze and sword wounds all over his body lying on a bed.

"This is not the Netherworld, this is the Earthly Mansion. ”

"Am I not dead?"

"You were indeed dying, but luckily you ran into me. ”

"You dare to ask this eldest brother's name?"

"Drunkard. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was taken aback: "Isn't this the fact that everyone in the rivers and lakes calls the Wine Sword Immortal and has disappeared for more than ten years? The name of the wine sword fairy, who dares to call his name?" So, the middle-aged man wanted to come up and salute. Although the two are of the same age, in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, they are respected by strength. Whoever is strong and outstanding in martial arts will be admired by the world, regardless of age. However, with the slightest movement, the severe pain suddenly hit the whole body, making it impossible to move.

At this time, the middle-aged man remembered that he had experienced a vicious battle last night and was mortally wounded. I thought I was going down to ask the eldest lord for guilt, but I didn't want to, but I was lucky to pick up a life, and I understood everything.

I had to reluctantly arch my hand to the drunkard, and said, "I can't repay the great grace of saving my life." In the future, whenever the predecessors are sent, the villains will go to the soup and the fire, and they will not hesitate. "In fact, with Li Chunzheng's martial arts strength and the degree of admiration by the people in the rivers and lakes, as long as he has something, I believe that countless people in the rivers and lakes will go forward to serve him, and it is not his turn to be a Wuji swordsman who was just a small name back then, and now he is still full of injuries, and he will not be able to recover his vitality for a year and a half. Just by virtue of the three words of wine and sword immortal, the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes will give him three points of thin noodles. Similarly, the injured middle-aged man was the same, and in order to express his admiration for the wine sword fairy, he had to say this.

"The world calls me the Wine Sword Fairy. Actually, I'm a drunkard. Originally, I thought that there was no distraction and I was concentrating on practice. But I still can't be free of distractions, I can't change my nosy problem, and I can't become an immortal in this life. The wine monster spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Now that you two have been saved, I have done another meritorious deed. ”

"Dare to ask where my eldest young master is now?" asked Uncle Fu.

"You mean the corpse? ”

Uncle Fu turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the bed next door not far away, only to see that Hou Jin was still motionless, lying straight on the ground, escaping a living dead, and couldn't help sighing: "The young master was originally from a wealthy family, and he lost all his relatives this time. It's really hard for him to be in a sudden disaster. I'm really afraid that if he just collapses like this, then the Hou family will really be finished. ”

"Infinite Swordsman, you have done your duty. Why don't you just leave and be your Wuji Swordsman again, and have a few drinks with me?"

Li Chunzheng said this, in fact, he took a fancy to Liang Jun's loyal character and deliberately pointed him out. If you change to other people in the rivers and lakes, it is naturally unwanted. But Liang Jun didn't have such thoughts: "Now the eldest young master is alone, if I leave again, then the young master will really be helpless." Master Hou has been very kind to me and entrusted the young master to me. Even if the world could abandon him, I could not leave him alone. ”

Thinking of this, he politely refused: "Thank you for the kindness of the seniors of the Wine Sword Immortal." The eldest young master is now the time when he needs me, and I promised the master that I will protect him for the rest of my life. ”

"In this case, the two of you will have a good rest, and the old man will go to practice!

Just as the wine monster was about to leave, a young, slightly hoarse voice sounded: "Senior, please stay." ”

Uncle Fu and Jiujian Immortal followed the prestige, only to see Hou Jin, who was originally like a lying corpse, sitting up from the bed.

"Please take me as an apprentice to the senior of the Wine Sword Immortal. ”

Uncle Fu was surprised. He knows the temper of the wine sword fairy and never accepts apprentices. At the same time, I am also very gratified. It seems that the young master's suffering from this ordeal is a blessing rather than a curse, and it has exercised the young master's heart and tenacity. It is not easy to be able to cheer up after such a blow.

It seems that the young master's bloodiness has not been completely wiped out by those literati who dance and write dragons. Uncle Fu nodded with satisfaction.

"It is well known to the world that I never take disciples. ”

But the younger generation wants to break this precedent. ”

"Oh, is it?" Li Chunzheng was immediately interested, and asked, "The old man has never received land since he abandoned literature and martial arts. What is unique about Xiaoyou that can make the old man make an exception? Let's talk about it. If you want to, you can consider it. ”

I saw that at this time, Hou Jin had lost his previous decadence and heartbroken expression, replaced by a perseverance, a perseverance from the outside in, his eyes lit up, and he said with a radiant look: "I heard that the predecessors are knowledgeable and brilliant, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor of the previous dynasty listened to the words of the greedy ministers, and said that the gluttonous disciples were appointed as the champions, otherwise, with the talents of the predecessors, they would never be in the limelight." For the talents of the seniors, the younger generations have admired and admired for a long time......"

The wine monster waved his hand and interrupted: "The past is over, don't mention it." What the hell are you trying to say, little one?"

Hou Jin hugged his fists, saluted slightly, and said: "Xiao is not talented, and he is willing to compete with his predecessors." If Xiao Ke is lucky enough to win the seniors, please also ask the seniors to accept the juniors as apprentices. ”

The drunkard looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, this little guy is interesting." ”。 Li Chunzheng was full of interest at once: "Okay, the world's martial arts know that the old man is confident, and now no one can win a move and a half from the old man." Similarly, the old man's literary brilliance is naturally a must. The old man agreed. Dare to ask the little guy, what do you think of the fighting method?"

Hou Jin thought for a while and said: "Let's compete with my predecessors for three games, first try to match pairs, then try to compose poems and lyrics, and finally test chess skills, what do my predecessors think?"

"Okay, it's up to you. Little guy, you ask the question first, lest the world think that the old man is bullying the small. ”

"It's better for the seniors to come up with the questions first, right? The juniors don't dare to make mistakes in front of the seniors. Hou Jinqian gave way.

"Let you come up with the question first, you will ask the question first, so long-winded, how can you be a manly man?" the wine monster was impatient.

"That being the case, the younger generation is offended. Hou Jin said.

After thinking for a while, Hou Jin thought of a question: "The waves are rolling outside the railing, let the heroes of the ages, they can't hold the big river to the east; ”

The drunkard did not have time to think about it, so he replied, "What is so difficult about this? The sun and the moon are in the window between the windows, and at four o'clock, I have seen the yellow crane coming west. ”

Hou Jin applauded: "The predecessors really live up to their reputation, and their writing is brilliant. The next link is a portrayal of the previous mentality of the predecessors. ”

The drunkard bowed his head and said: "Yes, the old man was not used to seeing the darkness of officialdom in his early years, so he abandoned literature and martial arts and devoted himself to cultivation, but he never saw Huang He coming west." I'm afraid that's how I spent my life. ”

"The seniors are too modest. With the heart of the predecessors, I am afraid that the world is less than one. At this time, Hou Jin was not stingy with praise.

"Alright. The old man doesn't eat this. Now it's time for the old man to come up with the question: the kid looks at the whirlpool one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety. The little one answered. ”

Similarly, Hou Jin also didn't have time to think about it, and replied like a stream: "My lord is destined for A, B, C, D, and Wu Geng Xin Ren. ”

"Wonderful. I didn't expect this kid to have a little material, not bad. The drunkard boasted.

"The predecessors are too famous. Hou Jin said humbly.

"Alright, it's your turn. The drunkard waved his hand.

"Okay, seniors, please listen well, things are still hated for thousands of years. ”

The drunkard thought for a moment and said, "One day is long." ”

Hearing the wine sword fairy's answer, Hou Jin clapped his hands and said: "The turning stretch, the second, the predecessor can be literate and martial, and he is really the first person at that time, and he can be admired." ”

Hearing praise again and again, anyone is still useful. In the same way, Li Chunzheng is also vulgar, who doesn't like other people's praise for himself? It's just that the drunkard deliberately straightened his face and said, "In this case, little guy, you are going to admit defeat?"

Hou Jin said: "No." Whenever Xiao Ke meets a knowledgeable person, he naturally does not hesitate to praise him. But the younger generation has not yet conceded defeat. Ask the seniors to come up with the questions. ”

The drunkard stroked his somewhat messy beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Nantong Prefecture, North Tong Prefecture, North and South Tongzhou Tong Nan." See how you're right?"

Hou Jin still replied confidently: "Spring reading, autumn reading, spring and autumn reading and spring reading." ”

"Hey, boy, yes! it's your turn. ”

Hou Jin pondered: "The question of the wine sword immortal seems simple, but it is not. It is enough to prove its learning. It is not easy to win against him in pairs. It seems surprisingly right. ”

Hou Jin thought about a cup of tea, and saw the stream on the rockery in the yard outside the window, clear water, without a little impurity, when he was usually tired of reading, he enjoyed playing for a while, and when he was thirsty, he could drink a few sips to quench his thirst. Yes, Hou Jin said: "Three mouthfuls of white water in the spring." Please answer the seniors. Hou Jin was confident, this is an absolute, and the seniors of the Wine Sword Immortal would definitely not be able to answer, so he smiled.

Sure enough, the drunkard thought for a long time and couldn't think of the next couplet. At this time, he also saw rockeries and streams. After thinking about this couplet again, I suddenly realized, and said in my heart: "Absolutely." This is a split word pair, three mouths for the product, white water for the spring. Pin is another verb, the old man thought for a long time, three of the same words composed of man, and it is a verb, it seems that there is only this one word, and then I can't find the second word. This kid really has two hits. It seems that I am an old man, and I have lost to a junior in learning. ”

So, he admitted defeat and said: "Xiaoyou, you won this competition." Sure enough, there are talented people in the Jiang Shang generation. Rare, rare. ”

"The seniors have won the prize. Xiao Ke just won the seniors once, it's nothing. Hou Jin said.

"Eh, winning is winning, losing is losing. If the old man loses, he loses. The drunkard said.

"Concession. ”

"In that case, let's start the next round of competition. The drunkard was now completely interested, and was a little unconvinced that the pair had lost to a junior, and he couldn't wait to win it back in the lyrics.

"The seniors are really refreshing. "Hou into him.

Uncle Fu, who was lying on the side, heard this, and broke out in a cold sweat: "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers." You must know that this is the Wine Sword Fairy. In front of him, ordinary martial arts people didn't dare to come out, but the eldest young master actually dared to speak like this. ”

The drunkard looked at Uncle Fu's expression and couldn't help laughing: "Boy, it's really different." However, it is very much to the old man's appetite. The old man is called weird, but in the old man's opinion, you little guy is a little crazy. Don't think you've won the old man. Let the old man try your knowledge again. ”

"Seniors, please. Hou Jin clenched his fists slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing this, An An nodded: "This kid is resilient enough." After being hit by this, it can be adjusted in a few days, and the future is limitless. It seems that it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves. Let's test this kid's skills again. ”

Thinking of this, he said to Hou Jin: "In today's government, rotten wood is an official, and it is all over the majesty, birds and beasts eat Lu, and even those with wolf hearts and dog lungs are raging. Creatures are in a hurry to hang upside down. The upper position is biased and biased, exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and leviing exorbitantly, but he is very happy with his achievements to the outside world, and he is willing to give kind everywhere. The people have people who can't eat, and they are easy to eat, but the grain in the granary of Zhumen is also wormed. When the courtiers sing and dance day by day, they are drunk and drunk every night, but they do not know the suffering of the people in the world. I hate it, but I can't help it. Ask the little friend to write a lyric on this topic. If it suits me, you win. ”

Hou Jin pondered for a while, paced back and forth for seven steps, and sang:

"Tongguan peaks.

The Yellow River is furious.

But it can't stop the demons from dancing.

Looking at the old capital.

Hate hesitates.

Everywhere there is captivity.

Sadness from generation to generation prosperity through the office.

Ten thousand palaces turned into earth.

Xing, the people are bitter.

Death, the people suffer. ”

Hou Jin had already finished singing, but the drunkard felt that the aftermath was lingering, and he was still unfinished, so he savored it at the end.

After a long time, the drunkard opened his eyes, his face turned red, and he was a little excited, and said, "Good, good, good." ”

The drunkard said three good words in a row.

Uncle Fu was slightly surprised: "Everyone in the world knows that Jiujian Immortal not only has martial arts in the world, but also has a unique literary style, which can be said to be both civil and military." can get the praise of the predecessors of the wine sword fairy, and the young master is really a well-known talent. ”

At this time, I only heard the drunkard say again: "Good one, prosperous, the people suffer, die, the people suffer." This is true for all dynasties and generations. As soon as the government improved a little, the people in power began to build land on a large scale, regardless of the hardships of the people. As everyone knows, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat. The poor people were forced to have no way to live, and they began to revolt. Overthrowing the previous dynasty and establishing a new dynasty, so repeatedly, the people have always had only one suffering. ”

"It is rare for a young man to have a benevolent and righteous mind and a heart for the people of the world. Well, it's a piece of material that can be made. In this competition, the old man lost. Little friend, you won. ”

When Uncle Fu on the side heard this, he was overjoyed, the predecessor of the Wine Sword Immortal is going to accept the eldest young master as an apprentice, this is the first time that the predecessor of the Wine Sword Immortal is the first time, and he is the only one. So, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Hou Jin: "Young master, why don't you buckle your senior's head quickly, why are you stunned?"

Hou Jin was also secretly happy in his heart, and finally convinced the wine monster, and when he heard Uncle Fu's words, he hurriedly wanted to bow to the wine monster. At this time, I saw the wine monster dragging Hou Jin's knee, as if he wanted to stop it.

Hou Jin and Uncle Fu were both suspicious in their hearts: "The dignified wine and sword immortal seniors, among the prestige of the rivers and lakes, should be a man of his word." Is it possible to have remorse?"

I only heard the drunkard say: "I promised, if I lose, I will accept this kid as an apprentice." The old man kept his word. It's just strange, Wuji Swordsman, you have been waiting for the Hou family for many years, and your martial arts are not bad, after so many years, why haven't you taught this kid a move and a half?"

Hearing this, Uncle Fu was relieved and said, "The seniors don't know. Although Young Master Hou is extremely intelligent, his physique is weak, and my knife skills are masculine, and the requirements for physical fitness are very high. ”

"I see. Boy, come here, I'll take a look. ”

Hou Jin looked at Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu nodded at him. Hou Jincai silently approached the drunkard. The drunkard didn't say a word, pinched Hou Jin's palm with his backhand, flipped it over, and grabbed Hou Jin's wrist, just like Lang Zhong saw a doctor, called the pulse, and injected the internal force into Hou Jin's body to explore the reality of his physique.

After about a cup of tea, the drunkard called it a day and said, "Hey, this kid is not only weak in physique, but also has disordered tendons and veins. What Liang Jun said is true. This kid is not the material for learning martial arts at all. Even if you are reluctant to practice, it will be difficult to make achievements in martial arts in the future. ”

Hou Jin's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, dimmed all of a sudden, and said to himself: "Could it be that my dignified seven-foot man, can't I avenge my family in this life?"

"Yes!"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you mean?" Hou Jin and Uncle Fu said in unison.

"Yes, that's what I said. Still, hahaha. Stinky boy, I'm tempting you. ”

"Looks like I guessed right. Your kid is full of hatred now, even if you practice martial arts, with your current heart, it is easy to go crazy. Actually, you kid is very suitable for following my martial arts path, with your wisdom and understanding, your future achievements will definitely be above the old man. If you want to learn my martial arts, you can. But ......" The drunkard suddenly stopped, his eyes staring straight at Hou Jin, and he saw that his scalp was numb.

However, Hou Jin quickly broke the dullness and said, "The seniors of the Wine Sword Immortal said that it doesn't matter, as long as the juniors can do it, they will definitely do it." ”

"Okay, that's what you're waiting for. Actually, when those Xiao Luolou killers were going to be unfavorable to you, I was already observing you from the sidelines. It's just that these little shrimps are too shallow, and they can't find me. The old man has long noticed that you are a martial arts wizard, and he was just deliberately tempting just now. People in the rivers and lakes all say that the old man never accepts apprentices, but the old man has never met a good talent and beautiful jade, and the old man is afraid that there will be no heirs. Also, you still call the old man senior?"

When Hou Jin heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to the drunkard, and said excitedly: "The master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

"Good, good, good!" the drunkard said three times in a row, but in fact, his heart was already happy. Then he said: "Apprentice, cut your heart and be relieved, as a teacher, I will definitely teach you what I have learned all my life." It's just that before teaching you skills, there are a few requirements for a teacher, and the apprentice must do it, otherwise, the teacher will never teach. ”

"Yes, the master said yes. And the master said, "The disciples must obey." Hou Jin said.

"In this case, the old man taught you the skill, you must not seek revenge within three years, but you can make friends all over the world. After three years, you'll be free. But you must have a benevolent and righteous mind, and you must not bully the weak, let alone show off in front of others, and you must not tell my name in front of the world, let alone say that you are my apprentice. The drunkard said solemnly.

When Hou Jin heard this, he felt strange, why did the master stipulate that I should not seek revenge for three years? Why can't I talk about his apprentice in front of outsiders? I can't care so much, as long as I can avenge the more than 200 members of the Hou family, I will agree.

Hou Jin hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The master is right, and the apprentice should obey it." ”

"Okay, that's the case, Hou Jin, from now on, you are the twelfth generation of my Tianshan faction, the only closed disciple of the old man Li Zhengchun. Go, go to the Tianshan faction with the old man, first worship the patriarch of the next generation, and get to know the brothers and sisters of the same sect. As for the Infinite Swordsman, you can cultivate on your own, and after three years, I will naturally let the disciples go down the mountain to find you. "Wine Sword Immortal Dao.

"Senior of the Wine Sword Immortal, this ......" Uncle Fu said urgently.

"Don't worry, Hou Jin is my apprentice now, I should love him very much, and in three years, your master and servant will naturally be able to meet. ”

In the blink of an eye, the wine monster and Hou Jin were already gone, and only the wine monster's words were still around Uncle Fu's ears......
