Chapter 93 My Brother Has the Talent to Become the Top Scholar
backyard!
Lin Ye looked at the crazy old man, and then looked at the female swordsman who was suppressing her emotions.
He was a little confused.
Especially the old man's reaction.
From the old man's previous words, he knew that he had been fooled by the old man. Even without those hundreds of jars of wine, the old man would still cooperate with him.
But now it seems that there are things the old man doesn’t know.
"The eldest brother led an uprising... and then the uprising failed. I'm not sure if he died in the battle. This is just my guess."
Lin Ye was afraid of irritating the old man, so he used a more euphemistic statement.
However, the old man just remained silent, and the long sword in the hand of the Ice and Snow Sword Immortal swung again. The sword energy filled the entire backyard, and this time the old man did not remain indifferent. He raised his right hand, used his hand as a sword, and waved it lightly, and the sword energy in the sky dissipated into nothingness.
Oh shit!
Lin Ye looked at him and exclaimed wow, this old guy is not just pretending to be awesome, he is really awesome.
One has a sword, the other doesn't, and the difference is obvious.
"Boy, can you summon spirits?"
The old man looked at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye nodded. Of course he would.
"I will give you an explanation for what happened today."
The Drunken Immortal said this to the Ice and Snow Sword Immortal. After that, he carried Lin Ye directly to the backyard. The speed was so fast that Lin Ye only felt the surrounding scenery become blurred. This scene lasted for two hours.
puff!
Finally, the moment the old man let go of him, he vomited.
Vomiting all over the place.
"Fuck, old man, what do you mean? How have I offended you?"
After vomiting, Lin Ye looked at the old man with a pale face. The Drunken Immortal had a calm expression and said, "Do me a favor and I will help you solve the problem of breaking through the Jingzhe."
"no problem."
Lin Ye immediately returned to normal, looked at the river in front of him, and said, "Where are we going?"
"Go to the capital!"
Capital city!
The new Hua Dynasty used the capital of the previous dynasty and did not move the capital.
Soon, the boatman came to pick up the passengers. Thirty cents was charged for one person to cross the river. The old man glanced at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye understood that the old man had no money on him, so it seemed that he was also a freeloader.
When I got on the boat, there were already several people on it. The smell in the boat was very strong, with the smell of sweat and poultry.
There was not much space to sit in the cabin, but the boat owner was still unwilling to leave and wanted to wait for more passengers. Several people on the boat complained to the boat owner and some even threatened to change boats if they didn't leave. The boat owner responded by saying he would leave immediately and continued to shout towards the shore, "Hurry up and get on the boat, we are about to set off, and those who haven't boarded yet should hurry up."
Unfortunately, no one paid attention.
Finally, the boat owner had no choice but to prepare to go, but just as the boat started to shake, several men from the teahouse on the shore rushed out and said, "Wait, we want to cross the river too."
The boat owner cursed, but the men didn't get angry. They smiled and said, "Wang Laosan, how could we not know you? If we had boarded the boat earlier, you would have continued to shout for a while. You wish your boat could hold a hundred people."
"What do you mean by a hundred people? If there were more people, Wang Laosan would have wanted everyone to hold on to the boat and swim across the water."
The people in the cabin heard the laughter. Lin Ye looked at this scene and thought of his childhood days in the town. At that time, the town still had tricycles for transportation. These tricycle drivers always wanted to fill up the car. Even if the car was almost full, they would still go around and shout if there were any passengers.
As soon as the passengers complained, he would immediately smile and say they would leave right away. This "right away" would usually take more than ten minutes. He knew this, so he was never in a hurry to wait for the bus. He would only go and get on the bus when it started and was really about to leave.
I didn't expect that riding a boat in a different world would allow me to relive a scene from my childhood.
However, Lin Ye still did not enter the cabin, but stood on the deck. The ship owner gave him a few reminders, and seeing that Lin Ye was not affected by the shaking of the ship, he followed Lin Ye.
An hour later, the boat reached the other side. After getting off the boat, the old man bought two horses at the city gate. Instead of going into the city, he went straight to the capital along the official road.
Along the way, Lin Ye finally understood what it meant to travel thousands of miles and what it meant to be exhausted.
The horses' hooves were flying and the road was covered with dust.
The Drunken Immortal did not stop on the way. He changed horses when his horse was tired. It took him only three days to reach the capital.
The outskirts of the capital.
"I thought I could see the prosperity of the capital, but I can't even enter the city."
Lin Ye muttered to himself and followed the Drunken Immortal to a bamboo forest. The bamboo forest had obviously been taken care of by someone and was trimmed very neatly. In the center of the bamboo forest, there stood a tomb and a bamboo house.
The door of the bamboo house opened, and an old man walked out. He was dressed in Confucian clothes. Although he had a head full of white hair, he had an extraordinary temperament. If he had this face when he was young, he must have been a handsome young man.
However, the moment he saw Jiuzuixian, the old man’s extraordinary temperament instantly disappeared.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?" The Drunken Immortal asked back, "I can come if I want to. How can you, an old man, stop me?"
"That's right. As a sword immortal, who can stop you?"
The old man threw down these words, turned around and walked towards the bamboo house.
"Hey, you old man, do you know what martial arts he learned?"
The Drunken Immortal pointed at Lin Ye. The old man frowned and looked at Lin Ye without saying anything.
"He learned the Tiger Roaring Power."
Swish!
The old man's expression changed. With the reaction of the Drunken Immortal before, Lin Ye is now much calmer. Everyone gets excited when they hear the Tiger Roaring Power. Those who don't understand think that this Tiger Roaring Power is some beautiful woman who can make the two old men so excited.
"No, the age doesn't match." After getting excited, the old man suddenly frowned.
"Nonsense, if I weren't to say you're stupid, I don't know how she was so blind to fall for you in the first place..."
"A mere warrior dares to speak of wisdom."
The two of them argued with each other like children bickering, but Lin Ye heard the key words: Why did she fall for you in the first place?
So these two are rivals in love, and the old man is the loser in the competition?
Lin Ye glanced at the old man, then looked at the old man. It was not unfair that he lost. As long as the girl was not blind, she would not choose the old man.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to say by bringing this kid here?"
After a quarrel, the old man asked seriously, and the Drunken Immortal, who had been so arrogant before, suddenly hesitated at this moment, and after a while, he took out a wine gourd from his waist.
"We have been fighting for half of our lives. We haven't had a drink in a long time. This is the wine brewed by this guy. It's a good wine. Do you want some?"
"Wine?"
The old man took the gourd, sniffed it first, and then his eyes lit up, "It has a strong aroma of wine. For the sake of this wine, I won't scold you today, but you have to explain the matter to me clearly."
"OK."
The old man brought out a set of wine utensils. There was a bamboo table outside the bamboo house. The two of them drank and chatted. As for Lin Ye, he was left aside.
A pot of wine was soon empty.
"Okay, now that we've had our fill of wine, tell me, what's with this kid's tiger roar power?"
"This boy is Qiao Yuannian's junior fellow apprentice."
"Qiao...Who is Qiao Yuannian?"
The old man was in a daze, as if he was thinking about something, but before he could remember anything, he suddenly fell down on the table and didn't move.
"Old man, with your drinking capacity, I know you'll fall down."
Seeing the old man drunk, the Drunken Immortal unceremoniously hit the old man in the face with a big Bi Pokémon, which made Lin Ye's mouth twitch. This old man did it on purpose, deliberately getting him drunk.
"Why, you're confused, huh?"
Jiuzuixian turned his gaze to Lin Ye with a complicated expression. After a while, he said leisurely: "Forget it. If I want your help, I must also let you know the cause of the whole incident."
"Isn't it just the love-hate relationship of a love triangle?"
Lin Ye muttered something in his heart, but still showed a listening expression. There was nothing he could do about it. Gossip was the greatest hobby of human beings.
"Forty years ago, when I first entered the martial arts world..."
It was a long story from the past, and Lin Ye summarized it.
The young man is equipped with his sword, and is ready to go out into the world of martial arts.
The young Drunken Immortal entered the martial arts world and challenged all the masters. In just a few years, he made a name for himself.
If the original story had remained so uneventful, either the Drunken Immortal would have been killed on the way to the challenge one day, or he would have challenged everything and finally become famous and become a true sword immortal.
The turning point in the life of the young Drunken Immortal occurred on a waterway.
A very bloody plot.
They encountered robbers on the water. Just when everyone was scared and panicked, a scholar stood up. The scholar was resourceful and led everyone to fight the robbers. But in the end, they still lost. The robbers were ferocious and fearless, and ordinary people were no match for them.
Seeing that the robbers were about to board the ship, Jiuzuixian took action and killed the robbers, who fled in panic.
The people on the boat cheered, but the scholar was blamed by everyone, because because of his plan, many people were injured, and the treatment would cost a lot of money.
At this time, a young man stepped forward and spent a huge sum of money, not only to compensate the captain of the ship, but also to give ten taels of silver to each of the injured people.
Afterwards, the three of them traveled together because they had the same destination.
The scholar is handsome, the young master is lively, and the Drunken Immortal is relatively silent, but for some reason, the Drunken Immortal feels that such a life is extremely comfortable.
The three of them followed the water route, traveling along the way. The young man suggested that since the three of them shared the same ideals, they should become sworn brothers.
The Drunken Immortal is a little older, so he is the eldest brother, the Scholar is the second brother, and the Youngest is the third brother.
This kind of life continued until the following year, when the three of them went to Beijing.
Because the scholar has to take an exam.
And on the day when the scholar finished his exam, the third brother disappeared.
"Brother, when you pass the imperial examination, I will give you a surprise."
These were the words the third brother said before he left. Jiuzuixian just watched with a smile. The third brother was usually eccentric and would often disappear mysteriously for a while, and he was used to it.
"Okay, then I'll have to work harder to take the exam and see what surprise my third brother has prepared for me."
The second elder brother, a scholar, was very confident. Although Jiuzuixian had not read much, he had seen the literary talent of his second elder brother, so it was inevitable that he would be on the list of successful candidates.
In his heart, my second brother has the potential to be the top scholar.
Seven days later, the imperial examination results were announced...
