Chapter 239 Old Zhang

A gust of cold wind blew in through the broken window, spreading the smell of alcohol in the room.

Agou sniffed lightly and looked quietly at the wine jug, seeming a little curious.

Wei Changtian was dumbfounded.

"What the hell? Be your apprentice?!"

"That's right."

The old man nodded calmly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice: "You have never had a master before, right?"

"No."

"That's all right."

What the hell!

Who wants to be your disciple? Wei Changtian complained madly in his heart. He was about to refuse sternly, but suddenly he remembered many clichéd plots in the online articles in his previous life.

Wait a minute, could this old man be some unparalleled master?

But he was not the protagonist, how could such a good thing happen to him? Could it be that the luck of heaven that he had plundered from Shen Ran and Ning Yongnian had taken effect? ​​After thinking for a while, Wei Changtian swallowed his words of refusal and prepared to test the old man's bottom line first.

"Well, old man, if you want to take me as your apprentice, it's not impossible."

"But you have to tell me why first?"

"Well, that's natural."

The old man put down the chicken leg in his hand and replied with some pride: "I have set up a chess stall in Jizhou City for more than ten years. I have played chess with tens of thousands of people, but no one has ever defeated me."

"You are the only one who has figured out the winning method of Gobang, so I am thinking of accepting you as my disciple."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

“.”

Good fellow, although this reason sounds familiar, the masters all set up Go endgames, and you set up Gobang. Wei Changtian was speechless for a while, and after a long pause, he asked again:

"I understand, but since you want to be my master, you must have some skills, right?"

"hehe."

The old man sneered and asked meaningfully, "Disciple, how many years do you think I have lived now?"

"Eighty? Ninety?" Wei Changtian was confused.

"Wrong, the Master has lived for more than 130 years now!"

The old man stroked his dwindling white beard proudly and wanted to take the jug of wine. When he lowered his head, he found that the jug had been stolen by Agou at some point and was now holding it in his arms and taking secret sips of the wine.

"Ah Gou! Little kid, you're not allowed to drink!"

He immediately showed a look of heartache and hurried to grab the wine jug.

Wei Changtian, who was watching this scene, was speechless.

Live to be one hundred and thirty years old, then what?

Living a long life is considered a skill? Then wouldn't it be better for me to find a thousand-year-old turtle as my master?

"My disciple, I don't have to be so particular."

On the other side, the old man had already snatched back the wine jug, drank a sip happily and continued:

"You kowtow three times to me now, and we..."

"Stop it now!"

Without waiting for the old man to finish, Wei Changtian interrupted and said, "Just tell me what your realm is."

“This.”

Like a deflated ball, the old man immediately wilted after hearing this question. After a long while, he stammered and tried to save his dignity: "To be able to live for more than 130 years, there is no need for me to explain what this means."

"Haha, who knows whether what you said is true or not."

"I said I've lived for three hundred years. Do you believe me?"

Wei Changtian's tone was full of sarcasm, and in his heart he had completely labeled this old man as a "big liar".

I guess he saw that I was dressed luxuriously yesterday, so he wanted to extort some money from me.

As expected, the protagonist met the big boss, while he could only meet a liar.

"Okay, a charlatan pretending to be a hidden master."

"Today I will not bother with you for the sake of this little girl, but remember to be careful next time you cheat."

"If you cheat someone you shouldn't cheat, you'll lose your life."

After saying the last sentence 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'm right! The second-rank master hiding outside the house was brought here by you!"

"And the scabbard on your waist is definitely not an ordinary item!"

"clatter!"

In an instant, Wei Changtian suddenly stopped and his face turned gloomy.

"How do you know this?"

After one stick of incense.

"Master! Are you done drinking?"

"How about I send someone to buy some good wine so that we can have a good drink together, master and disciple?"

"Little Junior Sister, stop chewing on the chicken bones. Let's find a good restaurant later. Senior Brother will treat you to a better meal!"

"Master, have you not relaxed for a long time? Tonight, I 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 called Master "Master" in a very cordial manner.

The old man regained his "masterly demeanor" and picked his teeth with his little finger while waving his hand and saying calmly, "We'll talk about these things later. You should kowtow to me first."

"Well"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wei Changtian's expression froze, and he leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered with a flattering smile: "Master, why don't you kowtow?"

"How about I find you two, no, three girls when we go to the brothel tonight?"

"Hey! Who do you think you are as a teacher?!"

The old man glared and said, "This is just the first time. It won't happen again!"

"Yes, yes, I will follow Master's instructions."

Wei Changtian nodded repeatedly, and asked with a flattering face: "Master, you just said that you had touched the threshold of the first rank. Then what happened later that caused your realm to fall to the ninth rank now?"

“Breaking through the first level is different from breaking through other levels.”

The old man yawned and replied, "If you can't go up, you will fall to the bottom."

"I see."

Wei Changtian's eyes turned and he asked in a low voice, "Disciple is curious about something else."

"explain."

"Master, do you know what the difference is between that level?"

"By riding on the righteousness of heaven and earth and controlling the debates of the six qi, you can change your own destiny and become a half-immortal." The old man answered casually.

“.”

That's right! Wei Changtian opened his mouth slightly, but not because of the answer, but because this old man actually knew it.

Therefore, it is very likely that this inexplicably cheap master was once a peerless master who was on the verge of breaking through to the first level!

"Hey, Master, what's your name?"

"Hiccup~"

The old man burped: "Forgot."

"???"

"But the neighbors all call me Old Zhang, so you can call me that too."

"Oh, Old Zhang, my name is Wei Changtian."

"Um."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"What's so surprising?"

"I am the only son of the Wei family!"

"oh."

"I have killed the prime minister of the dynasty!"

"oh."

".Old Zhang, I have become your disciple now. You were once a second-rank master. Don't you have any gift for me?"

"No, I sold all that junk a long time ago to buy wine."

"Are you looking for it again?"

"They all said no. Huh?"

Old Zhang suddenly turned around and rummaged through a broken wooden box at the head of the kang for a long time, and finally threw a jade pendant over.

The jade pendant looks like jade but it is not jade, and like stone but it is not stone. I don’t know what it is made of.

It is probably because of this that pawnshops would not accept it, which is why it was lucky enough to escape the fate of 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 carved on the back, only two small words.

Kuilong.
