The next day.
As soon as the day broke, Grandma Lu Qingsun and her mother-in-law got up early to wash up and prepare for breakfast. Others also opened the door one after another to take in the first breath of fresh air in the morning.
Hong Qigong stayed away last night and slept in his clothes under the persimmon tree not far from the house, while Dong Zhang slept on the sword tomb.
At this moment, bursts of smoke were coming out of the open window of the kitchen, and the smell of incense was full. Hong Qigong, who was leaning under the persimmon tree, opened and closed his nose, greedily absorbing the scent.
"Wow! The smell of rice is so strong!" Hong Qigong sniffed, opened his eyes and looked at the wooden house, then opened his arms and stretched hard.
At this time, there were people in twos and threes standing in front of the wooden house, some queuing up to wash up, some stretching, it was a lively scene.
As Hong Qigong approached, Gongsun Shi and A Gang saluted him one after another, and the latter nodded in agreement with a smile.
Xiao Longnu carried the sleepy Lu Yao without even looking at him, and was busy waking up her little apprentice. Li Mochou glanced at him and remained silent.
Seeing this, Hong Qigong didn't look outside. He walked to the kitchen window, put his hands on the window sill, and looked in. He saw a girl rolling up her sleeves and exposing herself amid the smoke. He had two dazzling white arms, holding the pot lid in one hand and a shovel in the other, working hard to shovel the vegetables in the pot.
"Qing girl, grandpa is hungry."
The woman flipping the cooking pot was none other than the industrious Lu Qing. Hong Qigong didn't show up either, and opened his mouth to speak.
"Hey, Grandpa Hong, just wait a moment, the pot will be ready soon." Lu Qing wiped the sweat on his forehead with his elbow, and said in a gentle manner.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa Hong, wait, you are such a good boy." Hong Qigong could say that the more he looked at Lu Qing, the more he liked him.
He has been traveling around for most of his life, so he asks himself what kind of people he has never seen before, but the people in the Ancient Tombs really refreshed his understanding. They have weird personalities, don't respect the elderly, and don't give him this at all. The old man was so proud of his face that he would quarrel with him when necessary, which made him angry. In the end, he discovered that except Lu Qing, who was relatively normal, the others were all weird.
Doesn't that mean he is getting close to Lu Qing, who has a gentle attitude toward him? But there is also an objective reason why he wants to accept Lu Qing as his disciple.
Not long after, Lu Qing and Grandma Sun were holding a large pot of hot meat porridge under the pergola. Following Hong Qigong's eyes, Lu Qing went back and forth to the kitchen to bring out two large plates of fried dough sticks, and several plates of fried dough sticks. Green vegetables.
"Brother! Sister! It's time for breakfast!" When the food was ready, Lu Qing shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice as clear as an oriole.
After a while, everyone took their seats one after another, and even Shen Feng joined in the fun, right next to the sleepy Lu Yao.
Hong Qigong glanced at him and thought to himself: These people are so weird and weird. Even the giants that they have heard about live with them. Judging from their appearance, they have become... ..
Hong Qigong's vision was not weak, and he could tell at a glance that the Shen wither would definitely be able to defeat Guo Jing and Huang Rong's two big white withers, no matter in terms of intelligence or force.
.....................
But seeing Dongzhang Shi Shiran sitting down, he looked at Zhi Kuai, and Hong Qigong looked eagerly at the delicious breakfast on the table and said happily: "Are you still here?"
"What? Do you want to drive away this old beggar like me?" Hong Qigong snorted angrily.
"Hey, look at how petty you are, how can you eat?" After Dongzhang said, he picked up a fried dough stick, dipped it in the meat porridge and started eating.
Everyone also moved quickly. Hong Qigong took the lean meat porridge handed over by Lu Qing and tasted it happily.
Li Mochou was a little cautious at first, but she found that neither Dong Zhang nor Hong Qigong paid much attention to her. Only Xiao Longnu and Grandma Sun handed her food from time to time. Everyone regarded her as a little transparent. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Staying with these people put her under some psychological pressure, because she herself was not that 'clean' at all, which meant that her hands were stained with blood.
She personally does not want to receive too much attention, that is, sympathy.
Dongzhang and his party did a good job in this regard. No one paid special attention to her and gave her sufficient freedom.
It seems like in later generations, for many poor students, after receiving financial aid, the sponsors did not consider the mood of the person concerned, publicized it, and took photos in front of everyone, for fear that others would not know that you were the 'great benevolent person'.
In fact, this invisibly puts a lot of psychological pressure on the recipient students. Those with low self-esteem will become even more inferior, and those who were originally cheerful will become a little silent.
People, whether they are adults or children, will have a certain level of self-esteem. If Zhang Dong chooses to give too much 'care' to Li Mochou in everyone's eyes, then she will definitely feel uncomfortable because you are sympathizing with her.
Xiao Longnu once asked Dongzhang how to arrange for senior sister Li Mochou. Dongzhang's answer was: "Ignore it."
Of course, what I mean is not to really care about nothing, but not to preach to her, nor to restrain her, but to give her full freedom. If, in three years, Li Mochou has not been able to survive in such a big family atmosphere, If she can integrate in, that means she can't return to normal life, then Dongzhang will let her go and truly abolish her martial arts.
For this person, Dongzhang would also choose to give up and no longer care about her life or death. Even if Xiao Longnu begged for mercy, Dongzhang would not care and let her fend for herself.
But now it seems that Li Mochou has changed a lot. At least from Dongzhang's point of view, she will do some things within her ability these days, such as serving dishes...
But what impressed Dongzhang the most was that she was willing to sacrifice her life. In order not to worry Xiao Longnu, this was actually a change for the better. At least, she was willing to make sacrifices.
At the dinner table.
Hong Qigong suddenly asked Lu Qing: "Girl Qing, are you willing to become my grandpa's teacher?"
This sudden question made everyone stunned. Except for Dong Zhang and Xiao Longnu, Dong Zhang knew that there was such a thing and was not surprised, while Xiao Longnu didn't care at all, and there was no wave in her heart. He still did what he had to do, and he was so hesitant.
Lu Qing looked at Hong Qigong in astonishment, who looked sincere, and hesitantly glanced at Dong Zhang and Xiao Longnu, who continued to drink porridge as if they were confused: "Grandpa Hong, Qing already has a master, and that is Sister Long. .”
Lu Qing said it very tactfully, but Hong Qigong didn't care at all. He smiled and said: "What's the point? There are many people in the world who are multiple masters. Besides, your little master's ability is just like this. Come on." If you learn from grandpa, you will be able to defeat her in the future."
Dongzhang's eyes twitched slightly when he heard these words. He glanced carefully at Xiao Longnu, who was quietly drinking porridge beside him. The latter didn't react at all.
Now Li Mochou is the one who is most surprised. Who is Hong Qigong? That was the famous Northern Beggar, one of the Five Ultimates. Now he was actively asking Lu Qing to become his disciple. This was a great thing, but Lu Qing still wanted to refuse? ?
Is this kid stupid? And more importantly, Li Mochou was surprised that Dongzhang could have such great reputation? It got to the point where Princess Hong Qi started to recruit disciples. You must know that in the original work, Huang Rong begged Hong Qi Gong for a long time, cooking for him in different ways every day, and providing for him like an uncle. In the end, Hong Qi Gong was reluctant to do so. He nodded and agreed to teach Guo Jing Kung Fu, but still refused to admit that he was his master.
As a human being, Li Mochou certainly didn't believe that Hong Qigong was really interested in the talent of this child, Lu Qing. As soon as he said this, she knew that he was trying to sell off his father-in-law's face.
And her guess was correct. Hong Qigong was just repaying his kindness to Dongzhang for saving his life, and he also wanted to help Dongzhang overcome the difficulties of the Demon Slayer Association in this way.
On the table, as expected, Xiao Longnu's face was expressionless when she heard this, and she didn't even look at Hong Qigong, but she said coldly: "This old man is not weak, Qing, you can learn from him."
Although there were no extreme words in her words, those who knew Xiao Longnu knew that she was a bit over the top. Dongzhang even knew that Xiao Longnu was already secretly competing with Hong Qigong, although he did not say it openly.
The latter laughed loudly after hearing this, stroking his beard and saying proudly: "Look, Qing Yatou, your little master has personally admitted that grandpa's skills are better than hers."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was frighteningly quiet. Xiao Longnu finally raised her eyes to look at Hong Qigong, and said calmly: "I lost to you only because of my skill. If we only competed with moves, you couldn't beat me." .”
Hong Qigong's proud expression suddenly froze on his face, and his breath suddenly suffocated. What did he hear?
"You have such a loud tone, little kid. Do you think you've got all the tricks up your sleeve? How dare you speak so brazenly!" Hong Qigong blew his beard and glared in anger.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Longnu nodded slightly: "I haven't finished it yet."
Hong Qigong: "......"
Everyone knows that Xiao Longnu will not lie. If she said she didn't do it all, then she definitely didn't do it. Li Mochou was shocked this time, Hong Qigong! That's Hong Qigong! How did Junior Sister get the confidence to say she could beat him in moves? Is it the Jade Girl Heart Sutra? ?
The original book once mentioned that once Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu combined their swords, there were few rivals in the world. After that, Mr. Jin made a 'reasonable' arrangement for the two of them to be poisoned by the love flower, and this sword technique could not be used anymore. Because you are poisoned by the love flower, you cannot have the slightest thought of missing the other person.
But later, Lord Jin arranged for Xiao Longnu to learn the "Left and Right Fighting Technique", which completed the integrity of this swordsmanship. Moreover, the book also said that the "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword" used by Xiao Longnu alone was stronger than that of two people. The power of being together is even greater, because no matter how much two people love each other, they cannot be united in love.
The same person can use it differently. The sword in his hand can be driven like an arm by turning his heart, truly reaching the state of changing his mind.
Didn't you see that the little dragon girl "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword" in the original work achieved an impressive record of one to nine in the Chongyang Palace? They are all top-notch masters in the world, and there is also a Jinlun Dharma King.
Guo Jing had already gradually felt that he was unable to do anything when fighting against four in the Mongolian camp and had to run away. However, Xiao Longnu immediately added five more people to the original team, and she was able to beat them until they had no power to fight back. They could only parry but not retaliate. .
The horror of "Jade Girl Su Xin Sword" can be imagined, but Jin Ye never arranged for Xiao Longnu to fight again. Maybe it was to set off the protagonist Yang Guo, so he "hidden it in the snow".
But the power of this swordsmanship is real, and can be proven by actual combat from the original work.
So Xiao Longnu didn't lie. She was really confident that she could defeat Hong Qigong with her moves without having to compete with her internal strength.
"Okay, okay, you clever little baby, Qingyatou, you come with me!" Hong Qigong was so angry that his chest couldn't help but be heaved. He was looked down upon by a little girl who was three or four years younger. Anyone else would be angry. Besides, He is also the top five in the martial arts ceiling, and he is intolerable.
"Brother, Sister Long..." Lu Qing looked at the two of them in fear.
Unexpectedly, Hong Qigong glared: "Ask them what they are doing, come with grandpa."
Hong Qigong stopped eating and stood up angrily.
"Oh, go ahead, this old man also has some good stuff, it's not a bad thing to learn from him." Dongzhang's idea is very simple, that is to make up for the shortcomings of the girls in the ancient tomb. Xiao Longnu is now a pentagon As a player, whether with weapons or bare hands, she has no shortcomings, and the same goes for Lu Yao, who can wield the Jade Girl Su Xin Sword by herself.
Dongzhang is still worried about Lu Qing, because Lu Qing can't learn the 'Left and Right Fighting Technique', so naturally she can't use the final secret of the 'Jade Girl Heart Sutra'. The addition of 'Kong Ming Fist' is a big plus. Help.
But if she can learn the Beggar Clan's unparalleled skill, the 'Dog Beating Stick Technique', then Lu Qing's shortcomings will gradually disappear, and her safety will be greatly guaranteed.
Xiao Longnu had the same idea, so she nodded to Lu Qing: "Go ahead."
Seeing that the two people agreed one after another, Lu Qing followed Hong Qigong to the back mountain with peace of mind...
