Chapter 128: Sorrow and Pain

Wu Dunru cautiously stepped forward, gently lifted the veil in front of the bed, and saw the "drunken scholar" sitting cross-legged on the bed, with snow-white hair, ruddy face, eyes slightly closed, motionless.

"Wu Dunru shouted tentatively slightly, only to see that the "drunken scholar" still did not react.

Wu Dunru's heart was even more uneasy, he slowly raised his hand, hesitated for a moment and leaned towards the "drunken scholar".

After a while, Wu Dunru's hand shook slightly, and the "drunken scholar" was no longer breathing. Wu Dunru couldn't believe it in his heart, and stretched out his index finger and middle finger to touch the major artery in the neck of the "drunken scholar", but it was cold in his hand, and after a full stick of incense, he didn't feel a pulse at all.

"Brother Ru, how is the old man?" asked Guo Fu in a trembling voice, she had actually guessed the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to believe it, and she had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"He's gone!" Wu Dunru said in a sad tone.

Yesterday, the old man was still talking and laughing, tricking me into drinking and making me take the wine pill. How could the old man go to the immortal after he settled once! How could he be a good person to participate in the cultivation of the ......?" Guo Fu said as he sobbed with tears in his eyes, and in the end he couldn't cry anymore.

& I had a premonition that my limit was approaching, so I invited us into the forest to relieve a little loneliness, but later I saw that you were quite talented in wine, so I temporarily decided to give you all the wine pills he had devoted his life to refining, and he didn't want to waste his own efforts in vain. Wu Dunru comforted in a deep voice.

Know, my grandfather has given me a great favor that will last me for the rest of my life. But before I could say thank you to him, he was already gone! Woo woo...... Guo Fu couldn't help but cry bitterly again. Choked up. "Grandpa, I'...... I will never fail you in your favor of me!I will certainly ...... I will definitely work hard to practice and don't let your hard work be wasted on me!"

It's good that you can think so, since the "Drunken Scholar" predecessor used the most proud wine pill in his life on you, you must make it worthwhile and play the greatest role, so that the "Drunken Scholar" predecessor can smile Jiuquan. Wu Dunru encouraged.

Guo Fu nodded with a sad but unwavering expression, and Cheng Ying took a few steps forward to Guo Fu's side. patted Guo Fu's shoulder and comforted her silently.

After a long time, Wu Dunru and the three of them packed up their grief and buried the "drunken scholar" in the apricot forest where he lived for decades.

Just two days later, four locals dressed as peasant men in their early thirties came to the thatched hut, and when they saw the mourning hall and Guo Fu dressed in the thatched hut, they were stunned at first, and then they cried bitterly.

In their choked crying, Wu Dunru and the three probably heard it. It turned out that these four were the few registered disciples accepted by the predecessors of the "Drunken Scholar", and they were all loyal and honest disciples he selected from the nearby villagers. Cultivated from a young age.

On weekdays, these disciples come to this thatched hut every once in a while to chat with the "drunken scholars" seniors, relieve boredom, and tell them some rumors and social dynamics that they have heard;

When these four people heard the news of the "drunken scholar" going to the immortals, they cried in a dark place, and the sun and moon were dark, and Guo Fu, who had provoked him, also felt sad in his heart, and cried again so much that he couldn't cry anymore; or Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying reluctantly comforted some words like "the deceased is gone, and the mourning is changing", and after a long time, everyone gradually stopped crying.

Wu Dunru took out the suicide note left by the predecessor of the "Drunken Scholar" and handed it to the four registered disciples to circulate, in the suicide note, the "Drunken Scholar" predecessor actually claimed: Although he does not pass on the moves, does not pass on the mental method, but according to the rules set by himself in his early years, Guo Fu has to give nine wine pills, and he is already his closed disciple, and one of his relics belongs to Guo Fu, and the four registered disciples also need to obey Guo Fu's orders.

Wu Dunru could see from the figure and pace of their side as soon as they came in that these four people's internal and external cultivation were not weak, at least not inferior to his father Wu Santong and the like. Originally, he was secretly on guard, afraid that these people would make a mistake, and if he didn't want to admit the instructions of the suicide note, he would inevitably be entangled with them for the death of the "drunken scholar" predecessors.

After all, it's about inheritance, fame, and even destiny in the future, and everyone is worried about it. He was only a registered disciple for decades, but Guo Fu got the biggest benefit as soon as he came, and he became a closed disciple and inherited all the relics. What's more important is that they will obey this yellow-haired girl who doesn't know anything in the future, this is a matter of life for the family, even if they flatly deny this suicide note, it is understandable.

This kind of cannibalism occurs because of inheritance and inheritance, and it is not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other, so Wu Dunru has been thinking about how to deal with this situation since he saw the suicide note of the "drunken scholar".

But in the end, it turned out that Wu Dunru was a bit of a villain, and it also proved the vision of the predecessors of the "drunken scholar", it seems that since he dared to write like this in his suicide note, he knew that these four registered disciples would not disobey his orders;

& Master had vaguely mentioned him with our brothers and brothers some time ago and felt that his limit was approaching, and I was afraid that he would go west in a few days, and he regretted many times that he did not find a suitable successor to inherit his skills. The four of us brothers have dull qualifications, and they have only learned a little bit from the master for so many years, and it is no wonder that the master often sighs, it is all because we are not filial! You must know that the master is not only deeply accomplished in martial arts cultivation, but also has outstanding achievements in winemaking, farming, poetry and songs, etc., I think that the old man was also a dignified civil and military champion, and the name of "drunken scholar" was also broken down at that time. It's just that at the peak of his life, he encountered a sudden change that he was disheartened and lived in seclusion here. One of the four recalled in a deep voice.

& We didn't believe in the skill of the old man at the time. How could you suddenly say that your limit is approaching for no reason. After the four of us brothers comforted us. The old man didn't say much, he just laughed and didn't say anything at that time. Now that I think about it, the lord did have a premonition of these under the sympathy of heaven and man at that time, but we were stupid and didn't believe it, and we didn't accompany the lord well for the last time. Another man said with a cry.

The old man is a principled person, he has been lacking rather than abundant for so many years, how many good talents and beautiful jade can't get into the eyes of his old man, and he must have his reasons for being able to regard you as a closed disciple before he dies. So. The four of us brothers thank you for inheriting the mantle of the master, so that the master can leave with peace of mind and not end up with regrets. In the future, the four of us brothers will only look forward to you, but we will never shirk if we have an order. After finishing speaking, the oldest man was the leader, and the four of them bowed their heads and bowed.

Frightened, Guo Fu hurriedly jumped to the side, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! A few senior brothers can't help this, although the master's suicide note is written like this, but how can I, a yellow-haired girl, order a few senior brothers! I never planned to take possession of the master's relics. There is no virtue that is so loved by the master, and the four senior brothers will not have to be like this in the future. ”

"Don't!" The lord just accepted us as registered disciples. We have always honored him as the master, and now the master has accepted the young lady as a closed disciple, and the young lady is our master. We will never disobey the master's orders. After hearing Guo Fu's words, the leader man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, and said in fear.

Guo Fu was embarrassed, and looked at Wu Dunru again for help, Wu Dunru's mind turned sharply, and after many considerations, he nodded slightly, Guo Fu agreed, and the four named disciples were willing to get up and salute again.

After the two sides formally introduced, Wu Dunru and the three of them knew that the four registered disciples had disappeared their original names for many years, and the "drunken scholars" were named "Zhou Yao", "Feng Piao", "Jing Ping", and "Lone Pine" according to their age.

The names of the senior brothers come from the article "Return to the Future" by Tao Yuanming, a writer in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, and this text is his declaration to leave the official career. A famous work that returns to the countryside and enjoys a life of seclusion. Wu Dunru said eloquently, and Cheng Ying also showed a look of surprise when he heard it.

Guo Fu was a little dazed: "It seems that my mother said it, but I can't remember that much, but it still sounds quite feeling." ”

If you look at the expressions of the four senior brothers, you can know that they must also know the origin of their names, and with the erudition of the predecessors of the "drunken scholars", the senior brothers must also be very knowledgeable, see how embarrassed you will be in the future!" Wu Dunru said with a stiff face.

I'll study hard in the future, okay!" Guo Fu showed a look of embarrassment on his face and muttered in a low voice.

&Go and come" The four senior brothers looked at their noses, noses and mouths, and their mouths cared, as if it was none of their business, and stood aside silently.

Wu Dunru continued to explain to Guo Fu: "These four names come from the sentence "The boat is far away with light, the wind is fluttering and blowing clothes" in "Returning to the West", and the sentence "Jing Fei is about to enter, and the lonely pine is coiled". The four senior brothers don't know if I'm right!"

& Childe really deserves to be famous, knowledgeable, and what he said is completely correct, and it was these words that the lord took from these words to give the name to the four of our brothers. Zhou Yao saw Wu Dunru asking, so he stepped forward and replied with a fist salute.

& I didn't know that the young lady was the heir of Peach Blossom Island, and the lord of Huangdao was one of the top five in the world, and his prestige was far and wide, and my four brothers admired it in their hearts. Although we are closed to news, we also have a thunderous ear for Guo Daxia's chivalrous name for the country and the people, as for the Huang gang leader as the world's largest gang leader beggar gang leader, who in the world does not know, who does not know. Miss is the grandson of the Lord of Huangdao, Guo Jing Daxia and the Huang Gang Master love their daughter, no wonder the master will let us follow Miss from now on. Feng Piao also spoke.

When we usually chat with grandpa, we also think that the master mentioned the name of Guo Daxia and the Huang gang leader, and the master praised Guo Daxia as a chivalrous man for the country and the people, and praised the Huang gang leader as a heroine, and did not let the eyebrows. The old man is afraid that he will leave. We are brothers, four struggling in this troubled world. Arranged a good way out for us. Jing Fei sighed.

Lone Pine is a man of few words. Just quietly listening to everyone's discussions, occasionally nodding in agreement, most of the time standing expressionless and lonely not far away, really like a lone pine.

The senior brother is too modest, it should be the master and his old man are afraid that I will be in danger in this troubled world, so let the four senior brothers take care of one or two. Guo Fu grinned, stuck out her tongue, and grimaced.

Zhou Yao, Feng Piao, and Jing Fei listened to Guo Fu's words tactfully, and took care of their feelings very much, plus Guo Fu was beautiful. The expression was cute, they all laughed, and even Lone Pine grinned slightly.

In this way, Wu Dunru, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu gradually became familiar with the four brothers of "Returning to the Future", one side is a smart, cute and sensible young man and woman, and the other side is a mature, steady and honest middle-aged man, and the two sides get along very well.

Zhou Yao instructed Feng Piao, Jing Phong and Gu Song to go to the nearby villages to invite several old people who had close contact with the "drunken scholars" on weekdays.

After a long time, six or seven old men with white hair came one after another, all of whom were old friends who had been friends with the "drunken scholars" for decades, and they were all well-known and prestigious elders in the nearby village.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to go before us, how can we let our old brothers stand it!" an old man who was eighty miles away cried out in tears.

&Brother. Since you came to our Xinghuawu, I don't know how much you have helped us. In the large and small villages within a radius of hundreds of miles, which village has not received your favor, and which village has not received your life-saving grace. Who doesn't treat you like a relative or elder! When you go, you're going to kill us and the others!" another blind old man beat his chest and paused.

& granddaughter-in-law said a few days ago that when this year's new wine is brewed, she will send the first altar to honor you, and I laughed and scolded her for treating you as an old man who is closer than my grandfather. The little son who could just talk to the little dog next door was crying yesterday and asked his father to come to you with him!

These people cried out in a gossiping voice, the truth of their feelings, the sincerity of their intentions, really smelled sad, and the listeners shed tears. After hearing this, Wu Dunru and the others couldn't help but sigh at the high prestige of the "drunken scholar", presumably they could achieve such an effect by continuously benefiting the township for decades.

In the following days, there were constantly villagers who received news to pay tribute to the "drunken scholars", and this was only the representatives sent by each village, although they were all red-eyed, they did not cry in the apricot forest, and seemed unwilling to disturb the silence of the "drunken scholars". Just quietly came to the thatched hut to offer a jar of home-brewed wine, a bouquet of wildflowers, or a plate of delicious side dishes that were once praised by the "drunken scholar", and even some children asked the elders to bring their favorite toys, hoping that the amiable old man in their impression would not be lonely with the company of toys.

This qiē made Wu Dunru, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu, who witnessed the significance of the mean, realize what is the will of the people, the will of the people, and what it means to be loved, and at the same time, they also better understand Guo Jing's feelings of selfless dedication to the country and the people.

This situation lasted for half a month, and the three of Wu Dunru except stayed in the thatched hut of the "drunken scholars", they walked in the forest and practiced martial arts. Guo Fu seems to be in love with having a drink every day, savoring the wine of the "drunken scholar", and seems to be able to feel his breath and hear his laughter.

Life is so wonderful, you meet a stranger by chance, but it may change the circumstances of your life, maybe he is just a passerby in the long river of your life, but it has an unimaginable impact on you.

Guo Fu also practiced more diligently and seriously, he did not need to be urged by Wu Dunru when he practiced in the morning, and he no longer had to get by when he practiced martial arts, he was half-hearted, and he practiced his internal strength more hard, no longer meditating for a while and then falling asleep, but meditating and practicing until the early hours of the morning every day, and then he had a deep sleep and rest for a few hours.

The four brothers also took the time to chat with them every day and send them some local snacks, so the time passed slowly, and the time for three months of filial piety arrived.

On this day, Wu Dunru, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu got up early to practice in the morning, Cheng Ying and Guo Fu tried a competition, and the results were evenly divided, at this time Guo Fu's effect of taking wine pills has gradually begun to be revealed, and under her diligent practice, her internal strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and there has been great progress every day.

I don't know if her hard work has played a role, or if her understanding has improved, and even the kung fu of fist and foot swordsmanship has entered the realm rapidly, which amazed Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying.

Then Wu Dunru tried with Cheng Ying and Guo Fu, and the two daughters were well-founded under his attack, attacking and defending, and the swordsmanship they made was in the same vein, and the power of tacit cooperation also increased. Although Wu Dunru has broken through the bottleneck one after another recently, and his skills have increased significantly, it is not so easy to win against them.

Look at it, I'll be able to surpass you soon, don't cry when I'm defeated! Hahaha! When I get home, my father and mother will be surprised. Guo Fu said proudly, "When the time comes, I will clean up that kid from Xiuwen first, and then teach Wushuang Senior Sister a lesson." Haha!

At this time, the four brothers happened to come over, and Wu Dunru greeted him: "Good morning, four senior brothers! We are waiting for you to come over and have a matter to discuss!" (to be continued......)
