Xu Tianran was sitting on the threshold of the shop, listening to the sound of reading in the private school. After a while, he saw schoolchildren going home in twos and threes carrying small book boxes. The schoolchildren saw the strange boy's eyes involuntarily focusing on Xu Tianran. They did not expect that in exchange

It was an extremely ugly grimace, which frightened some of the timid ones, but made the older ones laugh.

Xu Tianran didn't bother to quarrel with these naive children. He wanted to become the best swordsman in the world, and he didn't know how to go to a private school. His eyes drifted into the distance. He couldn't recognize the direction at such a young age, so he just looked at him as if he was looking at it.

He walked back the way he came, and parted ways with his mother for the last time.

With a "squeak" sound, the vermilion private school door slowly closed, interrupting the young man's wandering mind. An old master in white gently closed the door, without locking it, and kept it ajar.

The old master's gentle face made people look like spring breeze. He was dressed in a green shirt and had an elegant manner. His beautiful beard swayed slightly in the wind like a bent weeping willow. Xu Tianran immediately thought of Lao Bai, who was also an old man with a full beard and slovenly appearance.

, why is the gap so big?

When Xu Tianran saw the old master walking towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Over the years, what he was most afraid of was not his father or his mother, but the master of the school. He always talked about benevolence, justice and morality, and it was true that whenever he got into trouble, he would

He was so overwhelmed by the Master's earnest words and truths that he would rather have the Master hit him on the palm with a ruler. The Master seemed to have understood his psychology, but he refused to give him any pleasure and used the soft knife of the sage's principles to attack him thousands of times.

Thousands of cuts.

The old master bowed to the young man sitting at the door with his legs crossed, "Excuse me, sir, are you back?"

Xu Tianran was at a loss and hurriedly stood up, bowing deeply, "Old man Bai, oh no, Lao Bai, that's not right, Mr. Bai is back." He was not used to calling Mr. Bai Zuo Bai, so he didn't call him "Mr. Bai" all the way.

He, Old Bai, is Lao Bai, and it seems that he has never respected him in words, but he is big-hearted and just thinks that he respects him in his heart. If he talks about respect every day, he is either a hypocrite or mentally ill.

The old master looked at the young man and said with a smile: "Please sir, please inform me that Mr. Wu is here to have a meal."

Before Xu Tianran could answer, Lao Bai in the room yelled: "Don't be so arrogant at my door. Come in if you want to eat, or get out if you don't."

The old master just smiled, not angry, and touched two handfuls of weeping willow beard. This was probably the demeanor of a master. Xu Tianran thought so in his heart. Old Bai said he was as tall as a floor, so the old master must be as tall as a three-story building.

The old master stepped through the door, touched Xu Tianran's head, and asked gently: "Where is Mr. Xiao from?"

The magical power that was originally used to deal with Lao Bai's wallowing seemed to have completely lost its effect at this time, and his instinctive fear of the master took over. Xu Tianran actually said honestly: "My mother is from Jinyang, my mother is no longer here, and now she is from Qingshan Town."

The old master smiled and nodded, looking so amiable that Xu Tian's back was wet. Xu Tianran felt strange. He was a little tired of the master, but he was not afraid of him like a tiger. Could it be that some kind of demon had been cast on him?

Technique, suffering from master phobia.

The Master glanced at Lao Bai who was busy cooking and said, "Shan."

Instead, Lao Bai said, "You are good, and your whole family is good."

Lao Bai caressed Xu Tianran's head, and the aura that frightened the young man suddenly disappeared. The young man finally returned to normal, but when he looked at the master-like old master again, the young man was still frightened. When the old master came in, he quickly rushed out.

.

As soon as he went out and breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Tianran saw a very handsome young man suddenly appeared in front of the door. He was like a banished immortal descending to earth. He was dressed in white clothes and had an exquisite emerald green gourd on his waist. Even though Xu Tianran was like this

The layman seemed to think that the gourd was already worth a lot of money and was a good thing. The young man in white took off the gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a big sip of wine. He was so elegant and freehand, and his demeanor was indeed higher than that of Lao Bai who pretended to be a gentleman.

Many young men have their minds agitated. Not to mention whether the young man in white has any talent, such a handsome man in white has brought trouble to many nymphomaniac girls in Jinyang City.

The young master walked towards Xu Tianran. The young man felt uneasy in his heart. Could it be that the master in white is Lao Bai's son? I didn't hear that Lao Bai had a wife along the way. Besides, Lao Bai's shabby appearance would not be like this if he married a fairy.

The handsome and extraordinary son. The young man in white flicked his index finger in the air, and the young man hit a chestnut in the air. The young man was so frightened that he thought he had seen a ghost. He turned around and ran into the house, shouting: "Old Bai, I saw a ghost during the day.

A snow-white ghost."

Lao Bai shook his head helplessly.

The young man turned around with an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, the ghost in white stood behind him and said with a smile: "What kind of ghost do you think I am?"

Xu Tianran rolled his eyes and immediately put on a flattering smile, "Old Bai said that there is a white-clothed immortal outside, who can also do magic. If he points his finger, my head will feel like being hit by a stone. He is a powerful thief."

The corners of the young man's mouth in white raised slightly, "The boy likes me, Lao Bai, why don't you give this boy to me, I'll like it?"

Xu Tianran's head felt numb, and he shivered as if he had finished peeing. He heard his mother say that there are some feminine men who don't like women, but they like men. They have a habit of cutting off their sleeves. When I walked around the world, I saw more women than fairies.

Beautiful men must hide far away. In the middle of winter, beads of sweat oozed from the young man's forehead, "Old Bai, I will definitely listen to you from now on. Whatever you say will be whatever you say. Don't send me out. Let's

We have promised to help each other, love each other, share blessings and share hardships, so you can't break your promise."

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth twitched slightly. The old master stroked his beard, which was more beautiful than a peacock's tail, and smiled without showing his teeth. The young man in white laughed heartily.

After a table of dishes was ready, Lao Bai took off his apron and said, "Let's eat.

The sluggish young man suddenly became energetic and had the courage to starve to death.

Lao Bai served everyone a bowl of rice. The old master, the young man in white and the young man all had normal-sized bowls of rice. Lao Bai's bowl was already big, but it was still full of rice. The young man was dumbfounded.

Lao Bai picked up a large bowl of rice that was invisible and ate it happily. He glared at Xu Tianran, "Eat yours and see what I do?"

The young man quietly gave Lao Bai a thumbs up.

While eating the chicken, Lao Bai said, "I do physical work. I'm different from those two scholars who don't work. I should eat more."

The young man said melancholy: "I am growing taller and can eat more. I am not a scholar either. We all do manual labor."

The young master looked around and said, "Old Bai, where is the wine?"

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth twitched. Every time this guy came, he drank and took away the good wine that he had treasured for many years. He always suffered heavy losses. He often complained to Lao Wu that "White Peacock" was not kind. If he drank like Lao Wu,

He would be much more handsome if he didn't.

"White Peacock" is the nickname given by Lao Bai to the young man in white clothes. In the early years, he laughed at the young man in white clothes who always dressed in white and looked like a white peacock with its tail spread out. He attracted the attention of women everywhere and was simply a walking mating tool.

The young man in white didn't resent Lao Bai's ridicule. He was quite satisfied with the nickname "White Peacock". He understood that it was normal for Lao Bai to feel a little resentful after he had never been favored by women in his life.

After that, Xu Tianran didn't say a word and concentrated on eating vegetables. He was under great pressure. He was competing with these three people for food. He felt that he would suffer if he didn't try his best. Especially since he still had a few empty teeth. It was okay to eat vegetables.

I can't keep up with them when it comes to eating meat.

The young man in white didn't pay attention to Lao Bai's digging and searching look. Anyway, he did it by himself and had enough food and clothing. He took a deep breath, sniffed, snapped his fingers, and said with a smile, "I found it."

Lao Bai's face was livid, "I'll get it." If he let "White Peacock" get it, he would not have a drop of his inventory left, but he would still have some left.

"White Peacock" laughed and said, "That's so embarrassing. You have already worked very hard cooking. I can just do this little thing."

Lao Bai put down the basin and bowl, grabbed the "white peacock" who was about to leave the table, "I'll go, or there will be a fight."

"White Peacock" raised his narrow red phoenix eyes and said, "I'm not afraid of you in a fight."

The old master who turned a deaf ear patiently chewed the rice carefully and swallowed it, and then said calmly: "I'll get it."

The young man in white breathed a sigh of relief: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get off the stage. The old white man is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It's really boring to fight with him."

The old master entered the cellar by familiar means, followed the corridor and opened the secret door of the cellar. He tapped his fingers lightly on the ground. When he heard that the third brick was hollow, he opened the floor tile. Sure enough, there was a great world hidden underneath. Although the old master did not

Drinking, but after having dealt with Lao Bai for so many years, I naturally know what kind of medicine is sold in Lao Bai's gourd. The more exquisite the wine pot is, the more ordinary wine is filled, and the more shabby the pottery jar looks like it may be.

After filling the wine, the old master took a broken clay pot with an old red paper on it and went upstairs.

When Lao Bai looked at the wine jar in the old master's hand, his flesh ached so much, "The eighteen-year-old daughter red that I finally got from Mr. Jiang in Shaoxing is really a loss to my grandma's house."

The old master looked calm, and the "White Peacock" unceremoniously opened the mud seal, and the aroma of wine overflowed, "It's really a good wine."

Lao Bai glanced at Lao Wu and said, "My fate is not good. Either I will be with a teetotal drinker who will be boring to drink with, or I will be with an alcoholic who is a heavy drinker and will feel extremely distressed when he drinks. Lao Wu, or

Don't always act like a gentleman. Besides, the saint didn't say no to drinking, so you can drink a little."

The old master was unmoved, and in line with the fine style of silent eating and sleeping, he straightened his back and chewed slowly.

The young man in white lost interest in the food and drank one cup after another. He didn't forget to lick his lips after drinking. "You can't waste a drop of good wine."

When the boy was full, he let out a long burp, patted his belly with satisfaction and got off the table. Lao Bai finished a glass of wine and said, "Baby, go feed Ah Huang, and remember to brush the horse's nose."

Xu Tianran wanted to say that he could not do heavy work at such a young age, but when he saw the "white peacock" eager to get him, he was really afraid that Lao Bai would sell him to the "white peacock" at a low price, which would be even worse. So, Lao Bai

Go and find it honestly.

The half-drunk "White Peacock" said slowly: "The bones are good, but the spiritual veins are not complete. It is not difficult to practice, but it is not possible to achieve Tao. Old Bai, is this the person you chose?"

The old master was the first to say: "He is also the person I chose."

"White Peacock" was a little surprised and said: "You two colluded, but it's a pity that a quota was wasted. If there is an uneven quota, give it to me."

Lao Bai rolled his eyes at "White Peacock" and said, "You are the only one who has two quotas, so you still have the nerve to speak without being embarrassed. Even if the quota is given to you, do you have any talented disciples? There are all peacocks under your disciples.

It’s useless.”

"White Peacock" Bai looked back at Lao Bai, "My disciple can kill a thousand of those little bastards with just one of them."

Lao Bai laughed and said, "Ten years later, I will beat you up with a thousand peacocks, except for the direct descendants."

"White Peacock" didn't take it seriously. Anyway, Lao Bai Ai said whatever he wanted, there was nothing good in this world, only women and wine were fine.

After Xu Tianran finished feeding Ah Huang, he moved a stool and stood on the stool to wash Ah Huang's nose. Ah Huang squinted his eyes comfortably and seemed very happy.

Ah Huang kicked forward and stepped on the floor, breathing heavily from his nostrils, as if he wanted to go into the mountains to play with the boy. The boy understood and held hands with Ah Huang, who was much taller than him, and walked out of the gate of the town together. The boy did not forget to give

The black-faced man guarding the door made a face, and immediately turned around and stopped looking. He was afraid of seeing the black-faced man's face again. It was really scary to death.

Ah Huang threw off his four hooves and ran forward. Xu Tianran chased after him with all his strength, heading straight for the sky along the hiking trail of Tianma Mountain. Clouds and mist lingered on the mountain. Young people don’t know the feeling of sadness. Young people know the feeling of sadness. How much melancholy has turned into

If you run with strength, it seems that you can become the best swordsman in the world just by running.

"White Peacock" finished a glass of wine and said, "Old Wu, I'm not talking about you. I really don't understand why you want to draw a wall as a prison and stay with Lao Bai and never leave. You died at his hands in your last life.

Even though he saved your life in this life, it can't be worth the debt. Besides, even if the merits and demerits are equal, you can still stand on your own, which is better than staying with this bad old man all the time."

The old master held up a cup of tea and said warmly: "I like to play chess with him. I lost to him once in my last life, and I will win enough in this life."

Lao Bai shook his head helplessly.
