Everyone then started chatting leisurely while eating.
He Yiqi grabbed a chicken leg and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil, and said casually, "Who is this person you just mentioned who won the top prize in martial arts back then? Why do you think he is such a big shot? !”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, those who can get the title of Wu Zhuangyuan are of course big shots, and almost all of them are standing on top of Kyushu, the top group of the younger generation!" Presbyopia sipped wine and ate meat. While talking, he still spoke vaguely.
The lame man also said drunkenly, "Yes, yes, if Emperor Jiang had not chosen that time to hold the palace examination, and I happened to be over the age to take the examination, otherwise I would have been able to go in and meet their group of so-called Kyushu youths. Those monsters are invincible among warriors!"
"Damn lame! What are you bragging about!" Aunt Biao asked immediately, frightening the lame and causing his brain to short-circuit.
When He Yiqi heard the words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he quickly realized it and said in surprise, "Ah? Are you also a warrior?!"
This question immediately made the lame man's drunken face, which was as red as a monkey's butt, turn pale. He hurriedly said with a loud tongue, "No, no! I'm not a warrior, I'm just bragging here with the strength of wine. !”
"Tch, this lame guy doesn't look like a warrior. If he was a warrior, he would have gone out to hang out a long time ago. How could he be like a bear?" Presbyopia also said at the same time, "Which of those warriors can fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and move mountains? If you fall into the sea, no matter how bad you are, you will still be able to fly over eaves and walls, traveling hundreds of miles a day."
"It seems to make sense." He Yiqi nodded when he heard the words, seeming to agree with Presbyopia's words.
After all, the warriors mentioned in the book all have various magical abilities, which are different from ordinary people.
However, this lame man even walks with a limp. He is not as good as an ordinary person. He looks inferior to ordinary people.
Thinking of this, He Yiqi just thought that the cripple was drunk and started to brag.
He Yiqi glanced at the lame man with contempt and said disdainfully, "You lame man, you have no ability, you only know how to brag!"
After hearing He Yiqi's words, the cripple laughed instead, and his originally tense face seemed to relax a bit.
As for Aunt Biao and Presbyopia, they both began to criticize the lame man.
However, Lan Yu's eyes when looking at the cripple became deeper, as if she was thinking about something.
"Abandoned child, let me tell you, the man who fought out of thousands of troops and won the title of Military Champion was just a little beggar at the beginning!" The landlady said with a smile, "You are comparable to me now. My starting point is high, why don’t you go get a martial arts champion and see?”
"A beggar? Can a beggar also become a warrior?" He Yiqi's interest was suddenly attracted and he asked curiously.
Zi took over the conversation at this time and said gently, "Who said beggars can't become warriors? Before Emperor Meng established martial arts, many people in the human race had already awakened their own martial arts and became warriors. So. He said that in martial arts, there is no distinction between high and low, as long as you have talent you can become a warrior."
"Yes, it is true. Martial arts can also be said to be enlightenment. The key is nothing more than the word "enlightenment". Those genius warriors have nothing more than ordinary people's understanding, so they can excel on the road of cultivation." Lan Yu said leisurely, His eyes were wandering on He Yiqi.
"Then sir, your understanding should be pretty good..." He Yiqi asked expectantly.
However, his question made Lan Yu's face instantly turn ugly.
Did the kid ask this on purpose? Did he purposely want to embarrass him?
Isn't it well-known in the town that he is not a warrior? Why doesn't this kid pick up any pot?
"Hmm...ahem...although my teacher is gifted and knowledgeable in teaching and educating people, but...he still lacks some experience in martial arts training..."
Although she couldn't show it on her face, Lan Yu still honestly admitted that she was not good at martial arts.
After listening to Lan Yu's confession, He Yiqi couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the difficulties of martial arts training.
In his opinion, Mr. Lan Yu's intelligence and agility are the strongest among the people he knows. However, even such a person cannot embark on martial arts. Is his level really enough? Can he really be like the strong man who can make mountains collapse and rivers pour down with just a snap of his fingers, as written in various books?
He Yiqi hesitated a little.
At this time, Zi seemed to see the self-doubt in He Yiqi's heart, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "I once heard my grandfather say that the sooner you start practicing martial arts, the better, just like the children of those big families They all started practicing cultivation at a young age.
Because the six roots of childhood are pure, the innate true energy has not completely dissipated, and has not been polluted by too much earthly energy, so this is the golden period for cultivation.
But when you become an adult, it is very difficult to start practicing again. Just like a small hole in the wall, when you were just a child and your body was small, you could drill through it in one go. But when you become an adult, it is naturally difficult to drill this hole. "
"So that's it." A trace of regret appeared on Lan Yu's face. After a long sigh, she looked at He Yiqi and said, "It seems that I am destined to miss martial arts in this life, but you still have great years, but Don't give up easily. If a good man from Kyushu cannot enter martial arts in this life, he will miss out on many wonderful things in life.
If you can't become a warrior, I'm afraid you will have to stay in this small town for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to go as far as the county seat.
The current situation in the imperial court is turbulent, and Yanqing Xu, the governor of Sanzhou, took advantage of the Jiang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty to launch a rebellion.
The newly appointed Emperor Zhou pulled out the Human Emperor Sword from Tianzi Mountain, waiting for the spring to start war again!
It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times, but if you are just an ordinary person at this time, then you don't have to think about making a big career.
Before you have the ability to protect yourself, even if you have millions of troops and great talents, it will still be a castle in the air.
Maybe you were killed by a gangster or bandit while you were walking outside.
Living in troubled times is a stage for the strong to show off their talents, while the weak can only be silently used as a backdrop. Or find a corner, recite two pretensely profound poems, write some self-pity articles, complain about everything and everyone, and lament that you were born at the wrong time. "
Speaking of this, Lan Yu paused for a moment, her eyes slightly moist, and then continued, "Do you know how that beggar lived after he won the title of Wu Zhuangyuan?"
He Yiqi asked subconsciously, "I don't know."
Lan Yu raised his head slightly, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and said, "He is the governor of Yongzhou, and he is invincible! At first, with his own strength, he defeated countless geniuses of that generation. Later, a high-ranking official in the court met The situation was not good, so in order to let the heir of his family ascend to the position of Wu Zhuangyuan, he secretly sent someone to poison him, and also managed a good relationship so that Wu Modi, who had no relatives at the time, could not receive treatment and attempted to murder him. to him.
Fortunately, there was an upright doctor in the Royal Medical Center who rescued him and reported the matter.
Wu Modi, who finally regained his strength, used a crushing force to defeat the high-ranking official's heir on the ring.
The Prime Minister also personally punished the senior official after investigating.
Emperor Jiang even spoke out, saying that he was extremely brave and unparalleled in the world, and directly awarded him the position of Yongzhou Prefectural Shepherd.
Wu Modi was only twenty years old at that time! "
"This... twenty years old?!" He Yiqi was extremely surprised. I am afraid that no one in Jiuzhou knew what the name of Zhou Mu meant.
There are millions of people in a state, and the state pastor is equivalent to the emperor of the state.
A twenty-year-old emperor!
In his youth, he gained wealth, power, fame, and status that ordinary people cannot obtain in their lifetime...
The age of twenty is probably the starting point for a man to start his struggle, but Wu Modi has everything a man wants to have in his life at this age.
How can this make people not envious and awe!
He Yiqi couldn't help but have this fantasy in his heart. How great it would be if one day he could have everything Wu Modi had!
"One day, I will also be the person who holds the sun and moon in my hands and picks the stars!" He Yiqi suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all clapped their hands and laughed.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Lan Yu looked at the blazing fire in He Yiqi's eyes and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Although he only taught He Yiqi some simple knowledge of literacy and arithmetic, he sincerely considered He Yiqi as his disciple, so he has been subtly teaching He Yiqi some of his life experiences and how to behave in the world. Attitude.
But now, he couldn't help but want to encourage He Yi to give up building a career and start a big career.
It could be said that he was regretful that he never had the chance to do that in his life, or that he was forcefully instilling his ideas into He Yiqi. Anyway, he has already said everything he needs to say. He is not sure what the future of He Yiqi will be. After all, he can feel that this Ping An Restaurant standing in a small town is definitely not as ordinary as it looks. .
As hastily as it came to this town, it didn't belong here.
He Yiqi may belong to this restaurant, but it definitely does not belong to this town.
There was a lot of drinking, chatting and laughing, and the cups and plates were in a mess.
They talked about interesting anecdotes in the small town, about the bloody and brutal ancient demon war, about the current three-state rebellion in Kyushu, and about their worries about the forces in the Western Desert outside Yumen Pass.
It is said that men will completely open their hearts after having a drink together and a heart-to-heart talk.
The four men in the restaurant were like this. Even Zi, who had never met before, after getting along for such a period of time, they all began to change from being taciturn to talking to everyone at the wine table.
Even the youngest He Yiqi would get into a fight with everyone because of their different opinions on certain places.
As for Aunt Biao and the proprietress, they had been sitting nearby and watching the four of them quietly with a hint of smile in their eyes.
Maybe they feel that these four people are acting a bit childish at this time...
