"The girl in orange took off her veil, but saw that she had a straight nose, sharp lips, perfect teeth, and a pointed jaw. She was truly a peerless beauty.

Kui Jiu was even more amazed. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that the beautiful woman in orange and that hunched back in front of him, leaned on a cane, walked staggeringly, had a wrinkled face, had no teeth in her mouth, spoke in an old and hoarse voice, and was as thin as a stick. , the old woman with silver hair and shawl turned out to be the same person.

He even thought that the orange-clothed girl in front of him was the descendant of the old woman, but when he saw her sincere and firm eyes, he dispelled his doubts. He knew there must be a reason for this, so he wanted to hear the orange-clothed old lady tell about it. reason.

"My surname is Qiong Dan and I have the word Wei. I was born in a remote town called Yunzhong. My parents are farmers, and my family is poor. I depend on the sky for food. God gives me face, so I can barely make ends meet. When there are natural disasters, droughts and floods, there is no harvest. , lived a poor life with no food and no clothes since he was a child. At the age of six, he helped his parents with housework, cooked fires all day long, and helped his parents with farm work with a hoe in his spare time. , How can I still have the strength to weed and weed the ground!

One day I was working in the fields, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was scorching like fire. I was already hungry in my stomach, and I was overworked, sweating profusely, and I was already collapsed. Seeing this scene, I hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from my sleeve, poured out a pill from the bottle and pressed it under my tongue, I woke up after a while, and saw this handsome man dressed in a clean Taoist robe, with his hands brushing against the dust. , the dignified woman realized that she had passed out in the field due to the extreme heat and was rescued by others, so she quickly knelt down on her knees and kowtowed to her benefactor.

The nun hurriedly picked me up, knowing that my family was poor and hungry, so she took out two large white flour buns from her sleeves and gave me to satisfy my hunger. I was extremely hungry at the time, so I hurriedly took them and devoured them. , because it is already in heaven to be able to eat the cornmeal buns on weekdays. Where have you seen the big steamed buns with fine noodles!

I will never forget the delicious feeling. I chewed and swallowed the big bun quickly, but because I was still young, my throat could not hold the food, and I was choked by the delicious food for a while. I just felt The throat is blocked, unable to breathe, that is, there is only air out but no air in.

The nun hurriedly looked around for water sources. At this time, my face was already bruised from suffocation, and I was in danger.

The Taoist nun was also at a loss for what to do. She searched left and right but couldn't find the water source. In desperation, she untied the wine gourd that she carried with her and poured the mellow and strong wine for me. Swallow it, and the one who is out of breath becomes a gasp.

That was the first time I drank alcohol in my life, and it was precisely because of that accidental drink that I became indissoluble with alcohol in my life.The fragrance is so rich and full of stamina, I really like that feeling so much, I picked up the jug and gulped down the fine wine in one gulp.

She just looked at the Taoist nun next to her dumbfounded. She didn't expect this thin and frail little girl to be able to drink so much, and her tacit understanding with wine made people feel that she was born for this wine, which surprised the Taoist nun. !Generally, drinking is done by men. Women rarely drink alcohol. Even if they drink, they drink only half a sip. Like a little girl, she can't put down the wine pot. It's really rare for a woman to drink until she's dry!

Thinking in her heart, the Taoist nun couldn't help but be overjoyed. There is really nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!Isn't this the person I was looking for so hard?I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers to find no results, but in this remote farmhouse in the field, I found the most suitable candidate.

Thinking of this, Taoist nun smiled slightly, "Little girl! What's your name?"

After all, she was my savior, so I said to her unsuspectingly: "My name is Qiongwei! Poor poor, tiny Wei!"

After hearing this, the nun laughed even bigger, "Silly boy! Why is it called such a name?"

"It was started by my father. Our family has been throwing food into the soil for generations, relying on the sky for food, and being poor so much that our clothes are patched. Our family is extremely small in this vast field. We know that we can't change anything at all! Therefore, My father named me that." I said to her helplessly.

"Little girl! I'm not saying this name is bad! It's a nice name, but I just think it would be better if the words were changed a little bit!" Taoist nun explained kindly.

"Sister Daoist! I haven't read a book! I don't even know how to read. I only know how to do housework and farming. I only know the word "Qianwei", and I can write it in my spare time! Other than that, I don't recognize Words! You are very knowledgeable, if you have good ones, you can correct them for me!"

"I am a martial arts practitioner, and my knowledge is limited, but I did come up with a good one!" Taoist nun picked up a twig and wrote "Qiong Wei" stroke by stroke on the plowed mud. "Two characters, "What do you think of this name?"

"Sister Daoist! How do you pronounce these two characters?" I asked curiously.

"The pronunciation of these two characters is the same as that of your name, but the writing method is quite different." The Taoist nun handed me the branch she had just used, "Come and write!"

I took the branch and wrote stroke by stroke.

Taoist nun nodded again and again, "Yes! Just write it like this! Good boy! You mastered it really fast!"

The Taoist nun's encouragement made me feel warmer than ever before. On weekdays, I seldom have the opportunity to write and write. After all, there are endless housework and farm work.How can there be time to do these things.

I asked curiously: "Sister Daoist! Why did you change these two words? Is there any meaning?"

After listening to the Taoist nun, she pointed to the character "Qiong" I wrote on the ground and said, "I understand this character as fine nectar and jade liquid!"

"Precious nectar and jade liquid?" I asked in confusion.

"It's the ancient myths and legends. The slurry made from crushed jade can become a fairy after drinking it. It's a description of fine wine. The one you drank just now can be called fine nectar and jade liquid. What about becoming a fairy? It's my answer. The name of the sect." The nun explained carefully.

"So it is! This word is good! This word is good! But..." I praised again and again.

"But what?" Taoist nun asked.

"But this sect? You just heard that you are a martial arts practitioner, so you must be a peerless martial arts master?" I speculated.

"It's not peerless! But my school is indeed well-known in the martial arts world!" Taoist nun talked about her school with some pride.

"Sister Daoist! What school is it?"

"My sect is in constant contact with that Qiongzi!" Taoist nun said in a somewhat mysterious manner.

"Is it related to this wine? Is your sect called Jiuxianmen?" I guessed.

Taoist listen up!She was taken aback, she felt that the little girl in front of her was extremely intelligent and savvy, she guessed right, "Little girl! You guessed right! It's the Jiuxianmen, and this Jiuxianmen is also my door." It took decades of painstaking efforts to create it all by myself. I am the head of the Jiuxian Sect. I was nicknamed Jiuxian Taoist. My real name is Qionghui. Now you should know why I asked you to change your name. right?"

After I heard it, I suddenly realized that the Taoist sister in front of me is a peerless martial arts master and the head of the Jiuxian sect.By changing my name, it must be because he wants to take me into his sect, thinking of accepting me as a disciple and teaching me martial arts.

Jiuxian Daoist Qiong Hui continued: "Of course, the cursive prefix Wei means pure little flower! This word for the girl means beautiful and clean, and it sounds very nice! How do you feel about this name? how?"

"Sister Qionghui! This name is well changed! I will use these two characters from now on!" I said excitedly.

"That depends on whether your father agrees?" The Taoist nun just smiled.

Of course I understand what she means, it must be that she wants to take me in as an apprentice, and gave me this stage name, what she said is a pun, on the one hand, changing the name requires the consent of my parents, on the other hand, I have to learn art from a teacher Of course, parents have to agree!
Sure enough, as I expected, before I could answer, the Taoist nun said to me solemnly: "Son! Have you ever thought about martial arts?"

"Sister Qionghui! I'm so thin and weak. I don't have any foundation in martial arts. I just go to work in the fields every day. My family is poor. Can I learn martial arts? I heard that it costs a lot of money to practice martial arts?" I also said helplessly. idea.

The nun said with a smile: "This kind of martial arts is not something that can only be learned by a tall man with a big shoulder and a round waist. Many peerless magic skills are just practiced with the effort of four or two thousand catties. Just look at me and you will know that my body is not as good as yours!"
What's more, this martial arts practice depends on fate, talent and savvy, not whether it is rich or powerful.In the vast sea of ​​people, it is fate that you and I can meet here today. As a little girl, you have an amazing drinking capacity, which means you have good talent. Of course, it is only for the Jiuxianmen, this drinking capacity is the best talent.As soon as I talked, I felt that although you were born in the mountains and fields, you are intelligent and pleasant, with excellent understanding, and you are a rare good material for martial arts.

I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for decades, and I have been looking for the successor of this Jiuxian sect, so that I can pass on my sect's peerless martial arts Jiuxian cheats.I've been working so hard for nothing, I don't want to meet you as an excellent candidate from the mountains and fields today, I have to say it is a kind of fate bestowed by God! "

After hearing this, I felt very happy. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. I don't want to become a peerless martial arts master respected by thousands of people!How can I think that I have suffered and suffered all my life in this mountain and field!Thinking of this, I said excitedly: "Sister Qiong Hui! Am I really suitable for practicing martial arts? I am so lucky!"

"If you want to practice this secret book of Jiuxian, you need to be accompanied by wine every day, and live the days of drunkenness and dreams, are you willing?" The Taoist nun also vaccinated me in advance.

"Of course I am willing! Let alone one jug of the mellow and fragrant wine just now, it is no problem to drink the ten or eight jugs." I said confidently, patting my chest.So he was ready to kneel down to kowtow to the Taoist nun to worship his teacher with joy.But was stopped by the nun.But seeing his brows furrowed tightly, he seemed to think of something.The expression makes people feel very incredible. "

The old lady in orange narrated her experience to Kui Jiu in detail, and Kui Jiu listened intently, knowing that the old lady in orange had a lot of background!He wanted to know the ins and outs of this matter.The most important thing is to unravel the secret of the orange-clothed old lady's rejuvenation!
