Chapter 179: Five Years, Test?
The old man in the village really knows how to play the flute, Lin Zhuowen and Monroe have analyzed it together, and it can be determined that although the old man's flute is fake, but the flute playing skills are real, but the level is not high, and it can even be said to be rough and inferior, and he can only barely play the tune.
Lin Zhuowen doesn't care about the old man's experience, anyway, it must be fake, the old man's surname is Zhang, I don't know the specific name, the elderly people in the village call him Lao Zhang, everyone else calls him Uncle Zhang, and the children call him Zhang Drunkard, because this old man is good at drinking, and he has no wife and children, he is alone, and no one cares about him on weekdays, so every time he sees him, he is full of alcohol, and I heard that he is drunk for at least half a day in one day.
Although the old man Zhang is alone, and he doesn't farm on weekdays, he is not short of wine money, just because he has a craft - a craftsman, there are large bamboo forests on the mountain behind the village, and the old man Zhang can turn these bamboos into bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo curtains, bamboo mats and other bamboo products with a knife, Lin Zhuowen has seen the old man Zhang fiddling with those bamboos a few times, using a classic line that Lin Zhuowen is familiar with, that is, "My friends and I were stunned."
Compared with the old man Zhang's half-hung flute skills, his bamboo craftsman's skills are only at the level, those bamboos in his hands, through the knife chopping, cutting, grinding, drying, drying and other means, and then through his calloused hands like butterflies through the flowers, it can be immediately turned into a variety of exquisite and practical bamboo products, Zhang old man will make a batch of bamboo products every few days when the wine is finished and brought to nearby towns to sell. Then by the way, I exchanged all the money I got for wine and brought it back.
If it weren't for the fact that the craftsman's craft was really useless to Lin Zhuowen, maybe it would be good to learn this craft from Old Man Zhang, after all, although a famous teacher may not necessarily produce a high apprentice, but the probability is always a little bigger, isn't it?
Old man Zhang can play the flute, which Lin Zhuowen heard by chance, although it doesn't sound very beautiful, but Lin Zhuowen, who is looking for someone to learn something, was immediately attracted, and immediately cried and shouted and begged Old Man Zhang to accept him as an apprentice to teach him the ability to play the flute, but Old Man Zhang refused to agree. But when Lin Zhuowen stole two pots of good wine from his father from home and sent them to the door. Old man Zhang relented.
In fact, this is also an attempt by Lin Zhuowen, although this old man is part of the illusion, but he also has his own character. Lin Zhuowen only needs to start from his character. Catch his weaknesses. Then in order to make this illusion reasonable, the old demon can only make Old Man Zhang succumb.
In addition, Lin Zhuowen also confirmed. Although he was in an illusion, everything he saw and heard was arranged by the old demon bei, but how he wanted to say and do it was still up to him, that is to say, he was not completely affected by the illusion of the old demon bei, but was able to interact with this illusion, thinking of this, Lin Zhuowen couldn't help but move in his heart, maybe he could use this to do something.
Lin Zhuowen feels like he is playing a game with a strong sense of realism now, although this is a game that he has to play, but how to play it is up to him to decide, as a senior gamer, Lin Zhuowen suddenly burst into a sense of confidence, I am in charge of my game.
Lin Zhuowen began to slowly show his difference from other children, he began to gradually show that he did not belong to his age of precociousness, he no longer swims bare-bottomed with other friends, he always likes to be alone on the grass under the shade or lie or sit on the ground seems to be thinking about something, and he has become polite when he sees people, and the grandfather of the east and the grandmother of the west family are also kind, if there is anything he can do at home, he will also take the initiative to do his best, and he will completely demand himself according to the standard of a good child before the crossing.
Of course, if he has leisure, Lin Zhuowen will also seize the time to practice his pickling skills, many times, he will ride the big black bull to let it go, and he will leisurely play two flutes, just like the shepherd boy who is idle with the flute and birds, in this fantasy world into the painting, but also can show a good artistic conception.
Of course, this qiē is not so sudden, Lin Zhuowen has not forgotten his current situation, so he tries to make this qiē seem natural, so that these changes have a process, and even grasp some accidental factors to make these changes have a reason, I believe that even if the old demon Bei has doubts, there is no way to confirm that Lin Zhuowen did it deliberately.
The fact that Old Man Zhang played the flute was very crude, and it took less than a month for Lin Zhuowen to clean it up, and now Lin Zhuowen is practicing more on his own, with Old Man Zhang's master to introduce the door, Lin Zhuowen can properly show some talents, draw inferences from one another, and occasionally blow a "beautiful tune" by himself Something, of course, in fact, these are just music stored in Lin Zhuowen's computer, he is not a musical talent, he doesn't know what to compose music, it was all Monroe who helped translate those music into flute scores that can be played.
Time flies, the days in the fantasy are even more so, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, Lin Zhuowen's identity in the fantasy is already a thirteen-year-old boy, and he has become the object of praise from everyone in the village, over the years, Lin Zhuowen has always maintained the image of a good child, not only his family and villagers, but also strangers who meet by chance, if the other party has any difficulties, Lin Zhuowen will never be stingy if he can help, sometimes in order to help others, he has even put himself in, such as giving his only dry food to poor passers-by when he goes out, and almost drowning himself when he rescues a child who has fallen into the water。
To be honest, pretending to be a good person is very tiring, especially pretending to be a good person, Lin Zhuowen was not called Lei Feng before crossing, and he did not have any saint attributes, the reason why he worked so hard was naturally for a reason, over the years, Lin Zhuowen's days in the illusion have always been as plain as water, he struggled with his brain cells, and he couldn't think of the purpose of the old demon shell, as if the old demon shell had forgotten himself in this illusion, but Lin Zhuowen knew that this was impossible, Lin Zhuowen only had one guess that was not so reliable, maybe the old demon shell was to test his character, and he had seen a lot of similar episodes in novels and TV before the crossing。
Although Lin Zhuowen feels that the so-called good character in the world of cultivating immortals can no longer be regarded as an advantage, the so-called good behavior is bullied, especially in this world of cultivating immortals, where the means and strength are the same, but this is only his own point of view, and does not represent others, and if he wants to ask others to do one thing, I am afraid that he will also choose a good character, if he encounters a sinister and cunning person, don't say what he entrusts, I am afraid that he will be eaten by him to the point that there is no bone residue left.
