Chapter 20: The Feast
The sky has darkened, and it was determined that Lin Zhining was apprenticed, and several people talked about all kinds of interesting stories about martial arts in Tiannan and Haibei, and anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, as people in the martial arts, they naturally knew the details better than the villagers, and Lin Zhining's eyes were wide open.
After a long time, a disciple suddenly came to report, saying that Wang Zhongquan, who was known as the "King of Divine Sticks", came to visit with his disciples.
Li Xingjie got up and went out, but the other four did not move.
Because Li Ruidong married Jin Lan with Wang Zhongquan's uncle Zhang Jingxingyi, from here, he is also an elder, and Zhang Zhankui is also a guest after all, and the Jinmen area is also the most famous, so of course he and Li Cunyi will not get up to greet him.
As for Lin Zhining, I have heard of this person's name, but most of the people in later generations have heard of Bajiquan, and most of them started with Li Shuwen, and they are not very good martial arts anecdotes, and they rarely hear of his reputation.
And he didn't hear that this person was coming, thinking that he was mostly looking for something to Li Xingjie, and he didn't pay much attention to him.
After a while, Li Xingjie led the three of them into the hall.
They are all well-known martial artists, so they naturally know each other, and they only say hello to each other when they meet.
When it was Lin Zhining's turn, Li Xingjie introduced them, "This is my little uncle who agreed with my master and uncle to accept apprentices on behalf of my master, surnamed Lin Zhining. ”
Then he said to Lin Zhining: "Uncle Shi, this is Master Wang Zhongquan, who is known as the "Divine Stick", and he has a deep attainment in Baji Boxing and Gun. These two are his senior disciples, Wang Huashun and Wang Huacheng are two brothers. ”
Lin Zhining had already stood up, and when he heard this, he clenched his fists and arched his hands, "In Xia Lin Zhining, I have seen Master Wang and two brothers. ”
In fact, the three of them didn't have a big deal, but they passed by the Li Mansion today, so they came to meet their old friends by the way.
Hearing that the young man in front of him was accepted as an apprentice by a substitute teacher, he was very surprised, Wang Zhongquan was just right, although he was surprised that Lin Zhining had an amazing art career at a young age, but it was not unacceptable.
And his two disciples were not as calm as him, not that they had any trouble with Lin Zhining, but that they also knew that Lin Zhining could be accepted as an apprentice by the substitute teacher, naturally not because he was extremely talented, but because of the extraordinary skills in his hands, but they were also a little incredulous, eager to try, and wanted to compete with Lin Zhining.
But at this time, Li Cunyi suddenly interrupted their thoughts, "Okay, okay." Today, I and my junior brother on behalf of the teacher to accept apprentices, is for a joy, several colleagues gathered here, is for the second happiness, double happiness is coming, just today in the house to prepare good wine and good food, I will not get drunk and do not return. ”
This is not because he saw that Wang Zhongquan's disciple was not convinced by Lin Zhining, but that the old man was really happy in his heart, and it was almost evening, so he was just celebrating.
As soon as he said this, others echoed him, and Li Ruidong and Wang Zhongquan also congratulated him again and again.
The Wang brothers did not dare to propose a contest with Lin Zhining at this time, they were not convinced by Lin Zhining, but they respected the teacher very much, and their own master was congratulated by others, so they naturally could not dismantle the stage.
Of course, Lin Zhining didn't know, and quietly eliminated a trouble, but if he knew, maybe he would be very happy, because he also wanted to see the power of Bajiquan.
At the wine table, a few more people came one after another, but it was Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi's disciples who knew the news and also came to drink with the guests.
But Lin Zhining became the best target, and everyone came over to have a drink with him.
It's not that they want to see Lin Zhining make a fool of themselves, maybe they also have such thoughts in their hearts, but more importantly, they want to suppress Lin Zhining in drinking.
The most praised thing in the martial arts is that he is heroic, at this time, Lin Zhining's seniority is determined, it is not easy to talk to him for the time being, and it is still okay to compare the amount of wine.
And several elders are also happy to see this, especially Li Cunyi and Zhang Zhankui, although they are excited for a while, they always have to see how Lin Zhining's character and bearing are.
If he has a bad character, he will take in apprentices on his behalf, but won't he even affect his own teacher?
Lin Zhining didn't know what they were thinking, but he was no longer the one who didn't like to drink wine and only drank tea.
After so many years of wandering, he also likes the feeling of drinking a few sips from time to time and letting him forget his troubles for a while, which is really addictive.
And he is not easy to get drunk at this time, not to mention that he has a secret book like the "Sun True Fire Sutra", just his strong viscera, and only absorbs the wine he drinks as the essence of the five grains.
So at the end of the banquet, except for a few elderly people, Lin Zhining was still sober.
This made the person who wanted to get him drunk smile bitterly after sobering up, but he didn't expect that even drinking was no match for others.
And Lin Zhining also got his first name in this world, "A Thousand Cups Are Not Drunk", of course, he didn't know this rather ridiculous name at this time.
Looking at a few disciples who were playing "drunk boxing", or simply unconscious, Li Cunyi and them were also a little helpless, so many people took turns pouring wine into one person, but the people who poured wine were all drunk, which was really funny.
But in the end, the guests and hosts were happy, and nothing went wrong, and the drunk people did not make any inappropriate remarks.
Everyone went back to the guest room to rest, and Lin Zhining's first visit to fellow martial artists ended like this.
And the benefits he received were just the beginning.
