"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far away. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to be specialized. In the past, Meng's mother chose a neighbor. If a son does not learn, he will lose his opportunity. Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous way. If you teach your five sons, they will all be famous. If you fail to teach them, it is the fault of the father..."
There was a child who, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, insisted on coming to the study to copy books. Nothing more, just losing when I bet with others, that's all.
Liang Siheng was playing with a doll he had just bought from the street. He looked at Zhong Xiaofan who was copying books and said tirelessly: "That's enough, Zhong Xiaofan. You can stop copying. Let's go. You'd better go out and play with me." , I have to come back to copy books during the Chinese New Year, lose, lose, lose. It’s not a good idea.”
Zhong Xiaofan, who still refused to put down his brush, shook his head and said, "No, I'm willing to admit defeat. No matter if you are bored or have good intentions, I can't leave until I finish copying."
Liang Siheng curled his lips, if he had known that he had just bet with Zhong Xiaofan, why would he bet with him to copy books? The two were bored just now and went to the street to bet on which people were young lovers and who were not young lovers. As a result, Liang Siheng guessed twenty-two pairs correctly, and Zhong Xiaofan guessed twenty pairs correctly.
In Pinyu's study, an uncle who looked like a Taoist stood in front of the door. This was the first time I had seen a study that opened on the second day of the Lunar New Year. According to the young man who wrote the letter at the door, it was his first time in a treasured land and he didn’t have many acquaintances to visit with relatives, so it would be better to open the business and make money while still being able to stay and chat.
Wu Linghou looked at the study with relief. The door opened at the right time. He wanted to buy some gifts for his good disciple. But when Wu Linghou took a step forward, his eyes widened.
A young man put his hands on his hips. When he saw Wu Linghou's dumbfounded look, he laughed and said, "Ah ha, isn't this my son? Happy New Year. You are here to give gifts in person during the New Year? I haven't taught you how to just visit each other. Remember to bring gifts when visiting relatives. Turn left from here, then walk two streets, there is an inn open there, take two bottles of the best wine."
"Why are you here?" Wu Linghou spat out, and the image of Aqiang's sword appeared in his mind again.
"What? This is my territory, why can't I be here? I haven't asked you why you're here yet?" Aqiang asked.
The secret must not be leaked. In order to prevent A Qiang from continuing to ask, Wu Linghou quickly said to A Qiang: "Senior A Qiang, Happy New Year. After turning left, walk two blocks, right? I'll buy it right away. , have a few drinks with the seniors.”
Wu Linghou turned around and walked out quickly, not giving Aqiang a chance to continue asking questions.
As the saying goes, you can't talk nonsense before it is done. If you do, it will definitely not happen. This time, Wu Linghou personally went down the mountain to find his direct disciple. He must be careful in everything and go slowly step by step. There can't be a single mistake.
"After you come back after buying the wine, your disciple will probably come to my study. If you want to recruit a disciple more smoothly, you can buy some small gifts and the effect may be better."
Wu Linghou stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Aqiang's words really surprised him. He smiled bitterly, a person with magical powers really couldn't hide anything. But it doesn't matter. Since Senior Aqiang has said so, it is estimated that this direct disciple will be able to reap the rewards.
"Very good, I finally finished writing." Zhong Xiaofan slammed the brush on the table hard, breaking the brush and waking up Liang Siheng who had just fallen asleep.
When Liang Siheng saw that his brush was broken, he pointed at Zhong Xiaofan and said loudly: "Oh, Zhong Xiaofan, you broke my favorite brush. I don't care about you, you must compensate me."
Zhong Xiaofan knew this was the case and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, let's go to Pinyu's study to do some shopping now. It's true."
Liang Siheng suddenly stopped making trouble and asked curiously: "Hey, you started doing business so soon on the second day of the Lunar New Year? Do you think Aqiang went gambling again? Don't have any money for the New Year?"
"You ask me what I'm asking. Originally, my brother asked me to go to Pinyu's study to buy some red paper and some envelopes before going home today." Zhong Xiaofan handed over the piece of paper on which the "Three Character Classic" had been copied. Liang Siheng.
"What! What! Buy a few pieces of red paper and a few envelopes? Brother He Ling finally figured it out. I didn't expect that Brother He Ling can also write. It's amazing. Then when can we have a wedding banquet? Is that girl the one selling tofu? Sister He?" Liang Siheng has no time to think about any winning prizes. Gossip is the most interesting thing in the world, and no one, no matter how old or young, can resist its charm.
Zhong Xiaofan ignored Liang Siheng's repeated questioning, pushed Liang Siheng out of the study, locked the door, and walked towards Pinyu's study alone...
In Pinyu's study, two old men and a young man set up a large table at the door. Each of them placed two bottles of wine in front of them, and just sat here, talking about interesting things in the past. However, what reached Yu Shou's ears was that the three of them were drunk and blowing water on each other.
A feeling suddenly flashed through Wu Linghou's heart, and it was exactly the same as the feeling when he was fighting Ling Fenglan on the mountain. Wu Linghou immediately dispelled the smell of alcohol from his body and sat dignifiedly in front of the table. The two bottles of wine in front of him had already been put into his pocket. At this time, he had an immortal spirit and a phoenix-like posture. Where is the old man squatting on the street, begging for a sip of wine, like he was just now?
"Hey, Aqiang is here. In addition to us, he also knows other people? Someone comes to him to pay New Year's greetings?" Liang Siheng asked.
"I don't think so." Zhong Xiaofan shook his head and said. Aqiang is known as a bitch, and it's the same when he comes here. Yu Shou and Liu Banxian can just watch the store every day, themselves? Wouldn't it be better to go drink and gamble, hahaha. This is Aqiang's behavior.
I saw the uncle in purple clothes, turned to look at Zhong Xiaofan and Liang Siheng, looked at it carefully, waved, and said to the two of them: "Come on, children, for the Chinese New Year, I will give each of you two a big profit." , may you be healthy and safe in the new year.”
"Hey, hey, I forgot to introduce you, these two children are my two eldest brothers, one is Liang Siheng and the other is Zhong Xiaofan. They are the big bosses of Pinyu Study Room. The two of them are This eldest brother, this Taoist priest, is the famous Lord of Lingxian Mountain, Wu Linghou. The benefits he gave are huge." Aqiang held out five fingers to the two children.
When the two children saw this number, they gave Wu Linghou a big New Year's greeting, "Happy New Year, good luck, may all your wishes come true, all the best, good health..." The two secretly glanced at the red envelope. , jumped up in an instant. This is too much. At this time, the two of them just feel that the book will be less useful when it is used.
The more Wu Linghou looked at that boy, the more he liked him. If he could really become his direct disciple, he would definitely teach him everything he had learned throughout his life.

At the dock, Ling Fenglan did not get on the ship immediately because there were three ships going to Yinbinzhou today, so he was not in a hurry. There were still two ships left, so he chose to take a stroll here first.
"Robbing something! Someone is grabbing something! Help!" a voice shouted. Ling Fenglan looked towards the voice and saw a big man running towards him with a knife.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly. I'm talking about you, pretty boy! Be careful that my knife doesn't have eyes. I'll stab you to death with one strike." The big man shouted at Ling Fenglan.
Not only did Ling Fenglan not dodge, but she took a step forward and hit the big man with a palm, causing the big man to fly up. How could I have expected that a person would catch the big man in the air and put him down safely.
"Thank you brother, you saved my life. You and I will get half of the money. It's that pretty boy. Let's deal with him together." The big man said with a smile. Since this idiot can jump up from the air and save himself, it proves that this idiot is capable of confronting the pretty boy. When the two of them kill each other, he will benefit from it. That's really like making a bag of money in vain without spending any effort.
"How about it, brother, have you thought about it?" The big man looked at the young man beside him who kept smiling.
The young man nodded and said with a smile: "It's necessary, so please wait for a while, brother, I will solve it soon."
good! The big man was about to turn around and run away, but his vision went dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Fan Xiaoxi clapped his hands, took back the money bag from the big man's hand, and shouted to Ling Fenglan: "Young hero in white, please tie up this big man first, and someone will come and take him away later. .As for me, I’ll return this money bag to others first, and we’ll see you later.”
Ling Fenglan watched Fan Xiaoxi slowly leave without saying anything. Anyway, judging from his appearance, he is probably not a bad person. After all, he walks quite politely. Hearing the sound of boats in the distance getting closer and closer, Ling Fenglan tied up the big man, bought a bottle of ink, and then got on the boat.
Most of the large ships that cross continents and oceans are built by military strategists. A small number of them are built by various sects or dynasties. However, the various sects mentioned here are among the top ten sects in the world. . The large ship that Ling Fenglan was riding this time was built by military experts invited from the ten major colleges in Ganshu City, and once it was built, eight ships were built. Three big ones and five small ones. Of course, the money gained will be divided into 30% and 70%, with Ganshu City's Ten Great Halls accounting for 30% and the military strategists accounting for 70%.
Ling Fenglan stood at the railing of the ship and looked at the notebook with two pages left. Ling Fenglan regretted a little. She knew she had bought an extra notebook just now, but now that she was on the ship, if she took another trip, she might not be able to catch up with this. Trip. If you catch the last ship, it won't be a big ship. After all, whether it is the scenery, people, or guest rooms, the big ship is still much better. A greater chance of seeing more different things.
"Brother Ling! Brother Ling!"
Ling Fenglan heard someone calling him, turned around and found that Chen Hongjing was also on the boat. Ha, it is indeed quite fate.
Chen Hongjing strode to Ling Fenglan's side and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. Brother Ling, are you going to Yinbinzhou too?"
Ling Fenglan nodded and asked, "What about you? Why did you go to Yinbinzhou? Did you go alone?"
Chen Hongjing shook his head: "My wife and I went with a few senior brothers and sisters. We went to Yinbinzhou to find medicinal materials. As for me, I came here to wait for someone. I'm afraid he won't know where we are later. Nuo , as soon as he finished speaking, he came, that was him. Fan Xiaoxi, here, here."
Ling Fenglan looked in the direction of Chen Hongjing. That boy was the one who had just subdued the big man with him and snatched back the money bag.
"Oh, what a coincidence." Fan Xiaoxi said with a smile.
"Well, in that case, it's quite a coincidence."
"My name is Fan Xiaoxi, I am a student of Licorice Hall, and I am also Chen Hongjing's classmate and roommate." Fan Xiaoxi said with a cupped hand.
"My name is Ling Fenglan, I come from Xianxu Mountain. I am friends with Chen Hongjing," Ling Fenglan also said with his hands.
"Is Ling Shaoxia alone? Why don't you come with us? There will be one more person to take care of you." Fan Xiaoxi kindly invited.
"Won't I disturb you?" As the saying goes, if we are three people together, we must have one as our teacher. Instead of living alone in the past, Ling Fenglan really wanted to try traveling together, get to know more heroes in the world, and see if her views on the world and her thoughts on enemies would change.
"How can you say it's disturbing? As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when going out. Today we are considered life-and-death friends, and walking together is the best thing." Fan Xiaoxi said boldly.
"Okay then. I won't bother you all then." Ling Fenglan nodded in response.
"Now let's go eat first. Let's go, Fenglan, let's go this way. Hongjing, you lead the way." Fan Xiaoxi waved his hand and said.
Chen Hongjing was pushed forward by Fan Xiaoxi to lead the way, but he was completely confused. When did the two of them become life and death friends? Have these two people known each other for a long time? No reason? I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out.

Wu Linghou was walking alone on the road back to Lingxian Mountain, really. The more I look at that kid, Zhong Xiaofan, the more I like him. The more I look at him, the more I feel that he must be his direct disciple. At that time, Wu Linghou stopped beating around the bush and directly asked Zhong Xiaofan if he would like to become his direct disciple, learn thunder techniques, become a mountain man, and cut off all injustices for this world.
The result was just as Wu Linghou thought, Zhong Xiaofan neither agreed nor refused. Put on a look of shock. He said he would discuss it with his wife and his family. I was still young and couldn't make a choice. However, Zhong Xiaofan probably didn't expect that his dream of being a hero would appear before his eyes so suddenly, and so quickly.
Naturally, Wu Linghou was not in a hurry and asked Zhong Xiaofan to think about it carefully. Even if he could not become his direct disciple by then, he was always welcome to go to Lingxian Mountain to learn thunder and lightning techniques. Somehow, Wu Linghou felt that he still didn't care about his talent. He didn't want such a good disciple right in front of him and let him choose as he pleased. Moreover, I wanted to teach him everything I had learned throughout my life.
However, Wu Linghou just wanted to do this, even if he couldn't become his direct disciple, as long as he thought of Zhong Xiaofan being able to learn what he had learned throughout his life and then surpass himself, he would feel very happy.
Even if it is not passed down directly, so what if it is passed on, isn't it a good testimony?
