Chapter 399 Golden Stick
Chapter 399 Golden Stick
When Xu Fu woke up the next day, he still felt dizzy and bloated, and had the urge to vomit. It was not until he drank two large bowls of rice porridge and took two deep breaths outside that he felt better.
Thinking of the scene of last night, Xu Fu was still frightened and regretted that he agreed too readily.
The enthusiasm of these "three brothers" really made Xu Fu laugh and cry. They toasted him with wine and made many speeches that were hard to refuse.
He couldn't refuse, and he didn't know how much he drank, but in the end, all four of them were lying under the table.
Qingmei did not come to the banquet, only Narcissus came.
Shuixian was still as shy as before, and she didn't drink, but just ate something quietly. But with Baiyu around, she wasn't bored, and the two girls chatted quietly all night, occasionally joining in the toasts of the "third room brothers".
It was the first time in Xu Fu's memory that he got so drunk. He couldn't even remember who brought him back to his residence, but apart from Bai Yu and Narcissus, it was probably no one else.
It was really hard for them to carry him here when he was drunk as a mud. Thinking of this, Xu Fu felt a little guilty.
Looking around, he saw a person in white clothes coming towards him.
Narcissus?
The rising sun was very bright. Xu Fu squinted his eyes and couldn't see clearly who it was, but he felt that the person was a little taller than Narcissus.
"Teacher Bai?"
When the person came closer, Xu Fu realized it was Bai Yu. She had changed her clothes, the same style as Narcissus wore yesterday. Her hair was combed very neatly, her steps were steady, her demeanor was dignified, and she seemed to have regained some of the elegance she had at Chuncai Lingyuan.
"You're finally sober!" Bai Yu said with a smile.
Xu Fu apologized to Bai Yu very embarrassedly, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly tensed and he turned his head to look into the distance.
Then a voice was heard not far away.
"Is there anyone breathing? Is this Xuanwu Shanglingyuan?"
There was some impatience in the tone of the person who spoke. After not getting a response, he seemed to sense Xu Fu and Bai Yu, and immediately ran over here quickly.
When the man came closer, Xu Fu was slightly startled. He recognized the man. It was Zhuang Zide, whom he had just met at the Shi family not long ago.
"Why is he here?" Xu Fu was surprised.
At this time, Zhuang Zide was wearing a loose white robe covered with oil stains and carrying a golden stick on his shoulder. When he saw the apprentice, his face was full of surprise.
"Hey! It's you! Long time no see!"
When Xu Fu heard Zhuang Zide's greeting, he realized that when he was at the Shi family, he was disguised as a servant, and he went on the matchmaking stage after Zhuang Zide left. He had seen Zhuang Zide, but Zhuang Zide had never seen him.
"How did you come?"
Xu Fu responded with a smile.
Among his peers, Zhuang Zide was the most free and unrestrained. He said what he wanted to say and did what he wanted to do, without caring about other people's opinions. Although it was inevitable that he would be hated, Xu Fu felt that this was his true nature, much better than those who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
"A guy named Tang said there was a fight at Xuanwu Shangling Temple, so I came here! But this shabby place is really hard to find. It took me four or five days to find it!"
Zhuang Zide’s answer made Xu Fu laugh and cry. He sighed in his heart that this man in front of him was really "combative". He came to Xuanwu Shanglingyuan, one of the four major Shanglingyuans, alone just to find a fight. Didn’t he think about the consequences?
"The fight is over, the masters are all injured, there is no more fighting here." Xu Fu said truthfully. He didn't think that someone like Zhuang Zide would risk his life for Tang Yuan, and he didn't think Zhuang Zide would take advantage of someone's misfortune.
"what?"
Zhuang Zide's face was full of regret when he heard this. He looked around and then his eyes fell on Xu Fu again, his eyes shining.
"Aren't you still here? We haven't seen each other for so long, it's a good time to have a fight! Show your weapons!"
As Zhuang Zide spoke, he took the long stick on his shoulder in his hand and made a starting gesture.
"What's going on?" Xu Fu smiled bitterly in his heart. Whoever meets after a long separation will have a fight first.
"I don't have a weapon, and I don't want to fight you."
Xu Fu hurriedly declined. He had no interest in fighting. Unless he was being bullied or had no choice, he did not want to waste his energy.
"Then I won't use weapons anymore!"
Zhuang Zide said this as he stuck the stick into the ground and began to move his wrists and shoulders.
Seeing Zhuang Zide thrust the golden stick into the ground more than half a foot, Bai Yu was a little surprised. She had just arrived here and found that the ground of Xuanwu Shanglingyuan was frozen soil formed over many years, which was extremely hard. Even with a sword, it might not be easy to break it, not to mention that the stick was a blunt instrument.
"Xu Fu..."
Bai Yu was very worried that Xu Fu would suffer a loss, so he quickly spoke up to persuade Xu Fu not to compete with the man in front of him.
"Where did you get this stick?" Xu Fu seemed not to hear Bai Yu's reminder and asked while staring at the golden stick.
"This one! It originally belonged to Baihu Shanglingyuan." Zhuang Zide said while touching the stick.
"Is it... Lou Su's root?"
Xu Fu suddenly thought of the scene that day at Baihu Shangling Temple, when Lou Su Gou Zhen, one of the "Seven Stars of White Tiger", was waving a stick and killing people in all directions.
"Yes, that's right! It's him, he's a master!"
When Zhuang Zide heard Xu Fu mention it, he immediately remembered it.
"You stole it from him?" Xu Fu asked in disbelief. Stealing something from the "White Tiger Seven Stars" was like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, and he was able to escape unscathed, which surprised Xu Fu.
"This is not."
Zhuang Zide said bluntly: "He didn't make a move, but sent a few useless disciples to fight me a few times, and then he lost this stick to me."
"You...why do you need someone else's stick for no reason?" Xu Fu asked helplessly after hearing this.
"You don't know, I met a swordsman that day..."
After hearing what Zhuang Zide said, Xu Fu suddenly remembered that day in the Shi family arena, Zhuang Zide was defeated by Cang Yun's Oolong Sword. It was at that time that Zhuang Zide had the idea of finding a magic weapon.
"There are so many weapons in the world, why do you have to steal the treasures from the White Tiger Upper Spiritual Academy?"
Although Xu Fu did not stay in Baihu Shanglingyuan for a long time, he still had a good impression of the place. He was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuang Zide's attempt to snatch the magic weapon.
"This stick is called the 'Golden Stick', and the technique I practice is called the 'Golden Secret'. Don't you think it matches well?"
Zhuang Zide's answer left Xu Fu speechless for a moment.
Is this a reason?
Xu Fu didn't understand what Zhuang Zide was thinking. In his mind, there was only one word to describe such behavior.
My head got stuck in the door!
"Return it quickly, and I'll find you a good one later." Xu Fu advised. He remembered that Hu Fan also had a lot of magic weapons hidden, so he could just ask for one.
"No, that won't do. I'm very good at using this stick. Stop talking nonsense and watch me!"
Zhuang Zide said this without waiting for Xu Fu to respond, he raised his hand and attacked with a punch.
