A gust of cold wind blew in through the broken window, filling the room with the smell of alcohol.
Agou sniffed gently and looked at the wine bottle quietly, seeming curious.
Wei Changtian was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"What the hell? Be your apprentice?!"
"That's right."
The old man nodded calmly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and confirmed in a low voice: "You haven't been a disciple before, have you?"
"No......"
"That'll be fine."
What a shame!
Who wants to be your teacher?
Wei Changtian complained crazily in his heart, and was just about to refuse sternly, but suddenly he remembered many clichéd plots in the Internet articles in his previous life.
Wait a minute, isn't this bad old man some kind of peerless master?
But I am not the protagonist, so how could such a good thing happen to me?
Could it be that the fate of heaven robbed from Shen Ran and Ning Yongnian had an effect?
After thinking about it in his mind, Wei Changtian swallowed his refusal abruptly and prepared to find out the old man's background first.
"Ahem, old man, if you want to accept me as your disciple, it's not impossible."
"But you have to tell me why first, right?"
"Well, that's natural."
The old man put down the drumstick in his hand and replied somewhat proudly: "I have been setting up a chess stall in Jizhou City for more than ten years. I have played chess with thousands of people, but no one has ever beaten me."
"You are the only one who has seen the winning method of this five-piece chess game, so I decided to take on a disciple."
"Do you understand that?"
"..."
Good guy, although this reason sounds very familiar, other masters always play the endgame of Go. Why don’t you play Gobang...
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, and asked again after holding it for a long time:
"I understand...then since you want to be my master, you must have some skills, right?"
"hehe."
The old man smiled disdainfully and asked meaningfully: "Disciple, how many years do you think my master has lived now?"
"Eighty? Ninety?" Wei Changtian was confused.
"Wrong, my master has lived for more than one hundred and thirty years now!"
The old man proudly stroked his few white beards and wanted to drink from a bottle. When he lowered his head, he discovered that the bottle had been stolen by Agou, who was holding it in his arms and secretly sipping it.
"Agou! Little babies are not allowed to drink!"
He immediately showed a hint of distress and hurriedly grabbed the wine bottle.
Wei Changtian, who was watching this scene, was extremely speechless.
Live a hundred and thirty years, and then what?
Does living a long life count as a skill?
Then wouldn’t it be better if I simply find a thousand-year-old bastard to be my master?
"Disciple, being a teacher doesn't mean that much..."
On the other side, the old man had snatched the jug back, took a sip and continued:
"Now you kowtow three times to my master, let's..."
"Stop it now!"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Wei Changtian interrupted directly: "Just tell me what your realm is."
"This, this..."
Like a deflated rubber ball, the old man immediately shuddered when he heard this question. After a long while, he hesitated and forcibly said:
"To live for more than one hundred and thirty years, I don't need to explain what this means to my teacher."
"Haha, who knows whether what you said is true or false."
"I also said that I have lived for three hundred years. Do you believe it?"
Wei Changtian's tone was full of sarcasm, and in his heart he had completely classified this old man as a "big liar".
I guess it was because I saw that I was dressed luxuriously yesterday, so I wanted to get some money from myself.
Sure enough, when the protagonist meets a big boss, he can only meet a liar.
"Okay, just a charlatan pretending to be a hidden master."
"For the sake of this little girl, I won't argue with you today, but remember to be careful when you try to cheat again in the future."
"If you cheat people you shouldn't cheat, you will lose your life."
After saying the last words coldly, Wei Changtian stood up and prepared to leave.
But the old man became anxious after hearing this.
"What are you talking about! I am not a charlatan!"
"I...that's right! You brought that second-level master hiding outside the house, right?"
"And the scabbard on your waist is definitely not ordinary!"
"clatter!"
In an instant, Wei Changtian suddenly stopped and his face instantly turned cold.
"How do you know this?"
...
After a stick of incense.
"Master! Are you ready to drink?"
"How about I send someone to buy some good wine, so that we, master and apprentice, can have a good meal?"
"Little junior sister, stop nagging about the chicken bones. Let's find a good restaurant later. Senior brother will treat you to something better!"
"Master, have you not relaxed for a long time? Tonight, my disciple will take you to the best brothel in Jizhou City?"
"..."
Sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang, Wei Changtian had a bright smile on his face and spoke like a master in a friendly manner.
The old man, on the other hand, returned to his "elegant demeanor". While picking his teeth with his little finger, he waved his hand and said calmly:
"We'll talk about these things later. Kowtow on the apprentice's head first."
"Well......"
Wei Changtian's expression froze, he leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered with a flattering smile:
"Master, if you don't kowtow, I'll be excused."
"How about I find you two, no, three girls when we go to the brothel tonight?"
"Ahem! Who do you think you are as a teacher?!"
The old man glared: "It's just this once, it won't happen next time!"
"Yes, yes, my disciple will obey the master's teachings."
Wei Changtian nodded repeatedly, licked his face and asked again:
"Master, you just said that you had touched the threshold of the first level... then what happened that caused your realm to drop to the ninth level now?"
"Breaking through the first-level realm is different from breaking through other realms."
The old man yawned and replied: "If you can't go up, you will fall to the bottom."
"I see......"
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and asked again in a low voice: "Disciple, there is something else I am curious about."
"explain."
"Yes... I wonder if Master knows what is the difference between that first-level realm?"
"By taking advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth and controlling the debate of the six qi, you can change your own destiny and become a half-immortal." The old man answered casually.
"..."
Right!
Wei Changtian opened his mouth slightly, but not because of the answer, but because the old man actually knew.
Therefore, it is very possible that this inexplicably obtained master was once a peerless master who almost broke through to the first level!
"Hey, Master, what's your name?"
"Hiccup~"
The old man burped: "I forgot."
"???"
"But the neighbors call me Lao Zhangtou, so you can just call me the same."
"Oh, Lao Zhangtou, my name is Wei Changtian."
"Um."
"Aren't you surprised?"
"What's the surprise?"
"I am the only son of the Wei family!"
"oh."
"I have killed the prime minister of the dynasty!"
"oh."
"...Old Zhangtou, now that I have become my disciple, you were once a second-grade master, so don't you have any gifts for me to give you as a meeting gift?"
"No, I had already sold those rags in exchange for wine."
"Are you looking for it again?"
"They all said no...huh?"
Lao Zhangtou suddenly turned around and rummaged through a broken wooden box at the end of the kang for a long time, and finally threw a jade pendant over.
The jade pendant looks like jade but not jade, looks like stone but not stone. I don’t know what material it is made of.
It is probably because of this that the pawn shop did not accept it, which saved it from being pawned.
Wei Changtian curiously touched the ghost-faced dragon carved on the jade surface, and then turned the jade pendant over.
There is no pattern engraved on the back, only two small characters.
