"I haven't told you my name yet. The middle-aged man said, "My surname is Du, my name is Du Ming, and my father's name is Du Liang." My ancestor was Du Kang. My father didn't care about anything in his life. However, he regarded the matter of sake brewing as more important than his life. As a descendant of Du Kang, our Du family has also followed the rules of our ancestors for generations and made good wine. ”

After a pause, Du Ming continued: "So, when Zhang Hu said that my family's wine was fake, it made him angrier than slapping my father in public. So, my father went to the front and theorized with Zhang Hu. In the process of theorizing, my father was pushed by Zhang Hu. My father was seventy years old, and he was pushed by Du Hu, fell to the ground, and didn't get up for a long time. ”

"I couldn't stand it anymore. rushed up to fight with Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu has studied kung fu for two days, and I am not Zhang Hu's opponent. was beaten down by Zhang Hu in three or two strokes. Zhang Hu rode on top of me and smashed my head with his fist, and at that time, I was dizzy and my eyes were full of gold stars. Later, I heard everyone's exclamations, and then Zhang Hu stopped beating me. However, I didn't know what was going on at the time. ”

Later, Zhang Hu left. It took me a while to recover. When I saw my father lying on the ground with a knife stuck in his chest, I realized that my father had been killed by Zhang Hu. Although Zhang Hu is very domineering, after all, the matter of killing people in public is too big, and he is also weak-hearted, so he left. ”

"There's one thing I don't understand. Yun Wuxian raised the jar of wine, took a big sip of wine, and said, "You may be upset if I say it." But if I don't say it, I feel uncomfortable. ”

"Say it. Du Ming said, "The two of us are drinking together, and we can be regarded as friends." You know, I'm a picky person when it comes to making friends. Although the two of us don't spend much time together, I think you're a good person. No matter what you ask, I won't be angry. ”

"You can see that you are very sad that your father is dead. But why don't you avenge your father?" asked Yun Wuxian puzzled.

"Are you drunk? How can you say such a thing?" Du Ming carried the wine jar, looked at Yun Wuxian with a blank expression, and said, "I can't wait to eat Zhang Hu's meat raw." How can you say I don't want revenge?"

"At that time, there were two officials who asked you to name the murderer, and they could arrest the murderer. Why don't you say that?" asked Yun Wuxian , "I thought you didn't know the murderer." Now, listen to you, the murderer who killed your father is Zhang Hu, it can be seen that you know the murderer. I don't understand, why don't you let the people from the government arrest Zhang Hu?"

"I'm going to kill Zhang Hu myself. Du Ming said, "Zhang Hu killed my father, and I can't wait to eat his flesh and blood raw." How could I take revenge at someone else's hand? Even if the government can really punish Zhang Hu, for me, it will not be resolved. ”

Yun Wuxian looked at Du Ming, he saw that Du Ming's eyes were on fire, and Yun Wuxian felt that there was a raging flame of revenge burning in Du Ming's heart.

"Is revenge really so important to you?" asked Yun Wuxian in a low voice.

"Of course it's important. Du Ming said, "We are all born of our parents and raised by heaven and earth. Now, Zhang Hu killed my father, if I don't take revenge, am I still human?"

'His mother. As a child, he doesn't want to avenge his parents, which is really worse than a beast.

"What can I ask you for?" Du Ming asked.

"Say it. As long as I can help you, I will definitely do my best to help. Yun Wuxian said.

"I want to learn martial arts from you. Du Ming said, "Zhang Hu knows martial arts, can you teach me a little martial arts? Even if it is one move or two styles, as long as you can defeat Zhang Hu." ”

Du Ming looked at Yun Wuxian with incomparably sincere eyes. Yun Wuxian didn't immediately agree to Du Ming, Du Ming thought that Yun Wuxian didn't want to help him. While Yun Wuxian was pondering, Du Ming knelt in front of Yun Wuji, and Yun Wuxian hurriedly reached out to pull Du Ming.

"Shaoxia, if you don't promise me, I won't get up. Du Ming said.

"I can understand your feelings. However, I also have something that I can't say. Yun Wuxian said, "Otherwise, you take me to Zhang Hu, and I will kill Zhang Hu in front of you, how about it?"

"Shaoxia, I said it, I'm going to slaughter Zhang Hu with my own hands. Du Ming said fiercely.

"It's not that I don't want to help you. You are not from the rivers and lakes, naturally you don't know the rules of our rivers and lakes, if I teach you martial arts without the consent of the master, I am betraying the master. Yun Wuxian said.

Du Ming sighed and said, "Okay, I understand Shaoxia's distress. That's it. Just think that I have nothing, young man, let's continue to drink. ”

Although Du Ming said that nothing had happened, he was a hundred unhappy in his heart. From Du Ming's frowning eyebrows, Du Ming's disappointment could be seen.

After the two drank the wine in their respective jars, Yun Wuxian sat on the ground outside the grass hut, looking at the stars in the sky, he had a very complicated mood. And Du Ming was lying on the bed in the room, and he didn't sleep. Yun Wuxian heard Du Ming tossing and turning all night, and sighed for a long time. Early the next morning, Yun Wuxian woke Du Ming up.

"Shaoxia, are you leaving?" Du Ming asked.

"I have my own things to do, and I'm leaving. "However, before I go, I decided to teach you a martial arts trick or two." ”

Listening to Yun Wuxi's words, Du Ming was very happy. However, the smile on Du Ming's face quickly disappeared. He looked at Yun Wuxian and said worriedly: "Shaoxia, if you teach me martial arts, isn't it against your master?"

"I thought about it, I'll only teach you one or two moves of martial arts. It's not a violation of the teacher. Yun Wuxian said, "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for a while, and I rarely see a loyal and filial person like you. Now that I have seen you, if I do not help you, my own conscience will not go. Okay, let's start learning martial arts. ”

Yun Wuxian led Du Ming to a clearing, and he taught Du Ming the two simplest moves he had learned. Du Ming is not very smart, though. However, he was full of revenge, and he spent twelve points of energy learning the moves taught by Yun Wuji, so after half a day's effort, Du Ming also learned the moves taught to him by Yun Wuxian for eight or nine.

"Although you have learned the moves, you have no internal strength, and the moves you have learned cannot be used to the fullest. I don't know how powerful Zhang Hu's martial arts are, so I'm not sure if you can beat Zhang Hu. Yun Wuxian paused and said, "What I want to say is that if you want to win against Zhang Hu, you have to be surprising. In addition to having solid basic skills, you must also pay attention to strategy. The most common strategy used to ward off the enemy is to get the upper hand. Do you see what I mean?"

Du Ming thought for a while and said, "You mean to say that after I met Du Ming, I didn't say a word, and I came up and beat him." ”

Yun Wuxian nodded.

"You're going to hit with one hit. Otherwise, you won't have a second chance. Yun Wuxian said.

"I see. Du Ming knelt down for Yun Wuxian again. "Although, you don't let me call you master, but in my heart, you are the same as master. Today's separation, I don't know if we can see each other in the future, I'll kowtow to you first. ”

Yun Wuxian hurriedly bent down to help Du Ming up.

"I drank a jar of wine from you last night, and now I teach you a trick and two formulas, which can be regarded as canceling each other. Yun Wuxian said, "I'm leaving." In the future, if someone asks about you, don't say that I taught you martial arts. ”

"I still don't know your name, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't say it. Du Ming said.

Yun Wuxian thought about it and felt that Du Ming's words were very reasonable. He explained Du Ming a few more words, and then left with peace of mind.

Last night, Yun Wuxian didn't sleep all night, he was thinking about how to deal with the current predicament. After thinking about it, Yun Wuxian decided to follow the hatred in his heart. Even a mortal like Du Ming, who doesn't know martial arts, has to put revenge in the first place. What reason do you have not to avenge your dead parents?

Yun Wuxian entered Kyoto, and he walked around the capital for most of the day to find the specific location of the imperial palace. In the evening, just after the third watch, Yun Wuxian touched the palace. The palace is divided into two parts: the outer palace and the inner palace. When Yun Wuxian entered the outer palace, it was very easy. But as soon as he stepped into the palace gate of the inner palace, he was discovered by the patrolling royal guards. Of course, Yun Wuxian is also a mage-level figure, although it is only a beginner, he does not take more than a dozen royal guards in his eyes.

After a few moves, Yun Wuxian sent those royal guards away. Yun Wuxian was about to continue walking forward when he met a black-robed Taoist. Seeing the black-robed Taoist, Yun Wuxian thought of Tu Liao. If it weren't for Tu Liao, his life wouldn't be what it is now. Of course, Yun Wuxian had forgotten what he had heard in the 'Tianya Pavilion'.

"Get out of the way for Lao Tzu. Yun Wuxian shouted and threw himself at the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest didn't move, and the long sword of Yun Wuxian was about to reach the Taoist priest, and he suddenly couldn't stab it.

Yun Wuxian was taken aback. However, Yun Wuxian did not admit defeat easily, she used twelve points of strength to stab with her sword, but the result was still unable to move forward at all. Yun Wuxian knew that he had met someone who knew how to spell.

"Amitabha, at a young age, his temper is so irritable, it's not good. The Taoist priest shook his head again and again.

Listening to the words of the Taoist priest, Yun Wuxian was a little confused. Looking at the Taoist priest's dress, Yun Wuxian confirmed that this was a Taoist priest. However, he opened his mouth and said 'Amitabha,' which was clearly a monastic mantra. Therefore, Yun Wuxian couldn't figure out whether the person standing in front of him was a Taoist priest or a monk.
