Chapter Seventy-Four: Old Man Xue

The moon stars are scarce, the red lotus peak, and the weather is a little cold.

But behind the plane tree in the square of the ancestral hall, the atmosphere was hot.

There was a stone table, a few stone benches, a dozen dishes and a few bottles of good wine scattered messily on the stone table.

An old man and a young man are drinking next to the stone table.

Drinking and having fun in front of the ancestral hall was inevitably a little disrespectful to the patriarch, so the two chose behind the big tree.

The ancestors can't see it, so they won't blame it.

After all, people always have seven emotions and six desires, and the patriarch understands the righteousness and can understand it when he thinks about it.

Since Old Man Xue didn't care, of course Wu Hao wouldn't care.

At this time, Wu Hao was already drunk and swaying from side to side, his eyes were blurred.

Seeing that Old Man Xue was still sane and clear-eyed, Wu Hao knew that he had made a mistake.

The devil knows that he looks like he's about to go to the ground, why is the amount of alcohol so good!

These days, Wu Hao has been coming to Old Man Xue with wine and food in the name of clearing the bitterness on the mountain, honoring the predecessors of the Red Lotus Sect, etc., and he has become familiar with him after coming and going.

How could it be that Old Man Xue, in the name of guarding the ancestral hall, has always refused to drink more.

Seeing that time was passing day by day, Wu Hao's punishment deadline for sweeping the Patriarch Hall was about to arrive, but he had not yet found the slightest opportunity to get close to the Patriarch Hall, so Wu Hao was secretly anxious.

So in the last few days when the deadline was approaching, he played the emotional card again, used the agitation method, and tried his best to finally let the old man drink with him.

However, the old man was not drunk, but he was going to be drunk.

It's almost ghosting when you look at people.

"Hehehe!" Old man Xue couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Wu Hao's current appearance, and the folds trembled on an old face like pine bark.

He took another sip of wine, then pointed at Wu Hao and said, "Xiao Haozi, be dumbfounded, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice." ”

Seeing Wu Hao's slightly changed color, he smiled even more heartily, shook the wine in his hand and continued: "Tut-tut, osmanthus fragrant, I haven't drunk such a good wine for a long time." It's not like last year, when the disciple got some inferior wine and wanted to fool the old man. ”

While tasting it beautifully, he continued, "Xiao Haozi, you can really give up the capital." Obviously he is so reluctant in his heart, but he is not ambiguous at all when it comes to things. At this point, the old man is also very optimistic about your future!"

Wu Hao suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.

But he still smiled with a pale face: "You old man, what are you talking about, why don't I understand it?"

"Come on!" Old man Xue took a chicken leg and gnawed on it without any image, and then pointed at Wu Hao with a chicken bone and said: "There is no mirror now, otherwise I will let you take a look at your face just now, wine is a good thing, and if you drink too much, you will no longer be able to hide the possessiveness on your face." ”

Seeing that Wu Hao's face finally changed greatly, the old man was happy, and continued with a smile: "You young people, you don't know how to practice down-to-earth, and you always want to take shortcuts. The old man will tell you clearly today that the old man is not a senior master, and he has no peerless secrets. ”

"Even because of the isolation from the cultivation world over the years, the martial arts perceptions of the old man's early years are almost unable to keep up with the times. Thinking about getting the old man's guidance, making great progress in his skills, or getting some peerless inheritance, that's because you think too much!"

Wu Hao listened to the old man's slightly mocking words, and quickly explained: "Old man, I really didn't think about it that way. It's just that looking at the bitterness on the mountain, you have something to do with the seniors of the sect, so you think that you usually have nothing to do and be filial to your ......"

"Ed., and then ed. The old man took all the wine in front of Wu Hao to his side, drank it beautifully, and looked at Wu Hao with a smile at the same time, and said: "Although the old man is old, his tricks are still on." And you're not the first to come and 'honor' your husband. ”

"I don't know what kind of novel you young people have been influenced by. I always feel that there are seniors hidden in our sect. Because of such a wonderful misunderstanding. The old man, as well as the old horse who swept the floor of the Baigong Pavilion, and the old man Liu who guarded the Houshan Cemetery, were all harassed by your disciples. ”

"Fortunately, we also got some benefits from it, so we are happy to accompany you new disciples to perform every year. You can find out these things in the sect after a little inquiry, and only you new disciples still have such unrealistic fantasies. ”

Then he let out a long sigh: "It's good to be young......"

Then he took the bottle and drank it.

"Old Xue, you misunderstood, I'm different from those guys!" Wu Hao continued to explain persistently.

"You're right!" Old Man Xue wiped his mouth, looked at Wu Hao fixedly, and said, "You are much thicker than those guys. ”

Seeing what Wu Hao was about to say, Old Man Xue raised his voice and said, "Don't deny it, if the other disciples were so exposed by the old man, I'm afraid they would have already covered their faces in embarrassment and fled, and there are really few explanations like you who don't give up." ”

"Don't bother thinking in vain!" Old man Xue pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "A table of free dishes packed from the sect's canteen, with the best osmanthus fragrance, Wu Xiaozi really opened the old man's eyes." ”

"For the sake of you making the old man so happy, the old man is embarrassed to continue to pit you. Today's meal is considered a loose drink. When you're done drinking, you can put your mind on your practice. ”

Then, he warned with a little seriousness: "Young people don't always think about taking shortcuts, where are there so many shortcuts in this world......"

Old man Xue's words made Wu Hao a little speechless for a while. He glanced at the big tree next to him, and seemed to see the ancestral hall through the sycamore, and saw the QR code on the portrait of the patriarch!

So his expression became firm again: "Oh, why don't you old man understand." Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you like this, it will take a long time to see people's hearts!"

As he spoke, he ignored the old man and staggered down the mountain......

The next day, Wu Hao assisted several brothers and sisters to complete the sprinkling and sweeping work. In the evening, shortly after the part-time work, he came to Old Man Xue again with wine and food.

Old man Xue keenly noticed that this time Wu Hao was not a free dish packed from the cafeteria, but a large number of delicacies that he didn't know where to order.

Compared with the dishes in the canteen, Wu Hao brought much more sumptuous dishes, and of course the price was also very considerable, almost equivalent to the price of osmanthus incense.

Old man Xue looked at Wu Hao's sincere and earnest face, and hesitated a little.

"I clearly told him very clearly, why did he still put money inside. Could it be that what he said is true, that he is different from those disciples who want to come to fight the autumn breeze and make profits?

"Or is this person treacherous and loyal, and has other plans? That's not right, he is an old man, what else is worth plotting?"

All of a sudden, he was a little busy.

For the first time, he felt that his life experience was a little insufficient.
