C2 Rebirth

The melody circled around as Lu Fan arrived in front of a shop.

It was a shabby little shop with no name and a desolate source of customers. Normally, he relied on selling small dishes and wine to survive, but the owner was a terrible old man. Lu Fan had always called him Old Wu. Today was no exception. Lu Fan had already arrived at his door. He was still hugging his wine jar and sleeping soundly.

The worn-out tables and chairs exuded a rotten aura. There was dust all over the place, and he could vaguely see a few rats playing in the corner. However, Lu Fan liked this place because it was quiet. There was no mocking or ridiculing here.

"Old Wu, bring me some wine."

Lu Fan knocked on the counter, causing Old Wu to open his sleepy eyes.

Raising his eyes to look at Lu Fan, Old Wu reached out his hand first. Lu Fan took out a copper coin and placed it on the counter.

Old Wu kept the copper coin first, then he actually gave the jar of wine in his arms to Lu Fan, and said with a slightly turbid voice, "There's still half left, you're lucky. If you can't finish it, bring it back to me. "

Old Wu smiled as he took out a missing bowl and placed it on the counter.

Lu Fan took away the wine jar and bowl, casually finding a table and sitting down. He poured a bowl full of wine, raised his head, and took a big gulp.

The strong alcohol flowed from his throat into his stomach, and very quickly, Lu Fan felt his body heat up, as if there was a flame burning within him.

"Good wine."

Lu Fan sighed in admiration. The second reason he liked the store was because the wine here was strong and different from anywhere else.

Old Wu smiled and said: "Of course, look at whose wine it is. Lu Fan, you've suffered another blow? "

Lu Fan bitterly laughed, "When have I ever been unscathed?"

Old Wu said, "Don't say that. Don't you think it's a miracle you've lived so long? I remember the first time you walked into my shop, you were as thin as a monkey. Look at you now, everything is normal. "

Lu Fan laughed. Old Wu's words were correct. When he was young, the doctors diagnosed him that he would definitely not live past twelve years of age, but now that he had lived to seventeen and was still well, it was indeed a miracle.

Lu Fan turned around and said to Old Wu, "That might be your wine."

A strange light flashed in Old Wu's eyes, and he also laughed: "Of course, my wine is the best."

Lu Fan let out a long sigh, "Because I'm a trash, my woman abandoned me."

Old Wu narrowed his eyes and said: "Then she will definitely regret it in the future."

Lu Fan laughed lightly and said, "Old Wu, thank you for comforting me."

Old Wu smiled and said, "Believe me, this is not comfort."

Lu Fan drank another bowl of wine. "What a pity. I'm afraid I won't be able to drink your wine again in the future."

Old Wu stopped smiling and walked over from behind the counter: "What's wrong? "You're leaving?"

Lu Fan nodded his head, "Yes, I'm leaving." I failed this year's Martial Arts School test again. I am already seventeen years old. At most, I will have my last test next year, but my family will not let me lose all my face. They should release me after this year's sacrifice. I don't know where I'll be put, but I'm sure I'll never be able to return. "

Old Wu shakily sat down opposite of Lu Fan and asked, "It's that tragic?"

Lu Fan nodded his head, "That's right." Old Wu, when I leave, I will buy you a few more jars of wine to drink on the way. "

Old Wu replied, "No problem. I'll get you a few more jars. But I feel that you don't need to go. Why don't you try again next year?

Lu Fan laughed, but his smile was tinged with sorrow.

"Pass?" I don't expect that anymore. "

Old Wu said: "Then are you not going to practice martial arts anymore?"

At this moment, Lu Fan's gaze sharpened. "I will definitely learn martial arts. Martial arts are everything to me." Even if I am unable to condense Supreme Force in my lifetime, I am still proud of being a cultivator.

Old Wu's expression changed slightly, as if he hadn't expected that Lu Fan would still be able to say such words.

Old Wu began to chant.

"Last night's cold wind and waning moon, today's sorrowful snow. When will the waves in the Sea of Bitterness stop and let us drink to clear our sorrows. He imagined ten years of martial arts, tears flowing down his cheeks. If the heavens are the first to leave, then who knows who will stay behind? "

Hearing Old Wu's poems, Lu Fan's eyes were filled with sadness. He raised his wine jar and began to drink.

Old Wu muttered the last two sentences as he stood up and walked back to the counter.

He slowly took out a small jar of wine from under the counter.

"Come, Lu Fan, drink my jar." I've kept this pot of wine for twenty years.

Old Wu placed the small jar of wine on the table.

As the seal was opened, the fragrance filled the room. Lu Fan looked at Old Wu with a hazy expression as he poured him a bowl of wine.

Old Wu's expression was calm, without a trace of drunkenness as he said softly: "You drank too much."

Lu Fan smiled, "That's right, I drank too much." Let me try your bowl of wine. "

Lifting up his head, a bowl of wine entered his throat. Lu Fan felt as if his throat was burning with fire, starting from his throat and going straight to his stomach. Lu Fan's entire face turned red.

Old Wu poured another bowl for Lu Fan, saying, "Continue drinking, this wine is pretty strong."

Lu Fan felt as though he was at a loss for words. After a long moment, he forced out two words, "Powerful."

After speaking, Lu Fan drank another bowl. This time, the feeling was even more intense.

Lu Fan could almost hear his own bones cracking, his Qi and blood surging, his vision already starting to blur.

Standing up, Lu Fan said, "Old Wu, looks like I'm really a little drunk. No, I have to go back first."

Lu Fan walked outside shakily. Old Wu looked at Lu Fan's back and said, "Remember to come back in a few days to drink. I'll keep this jar of wine for you."

Lu Fan waved his hand. "Don't worry, I'll definitely come."

Old Wu smiled and said softly, "Of course you will come."

Old Wu waved his hand lightly, and the jar of wine floated up gently like a ghost, and then landed back on the counter.

Old Wu tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically, and started to sing softly while shaking his head.

"8000 Mile Mountain Sword and Wine, 9000 Mile Heaven Dream and Awakening. Three cups were enough to clear the great Dao. The cup of yin and yang was interesting, the cup of life was filled with love and wine. "I don't know where to look, who will laugh at me, and who will laugh at me."

On the way back home, the north wind whistled. The snow falling from the sky was as sharp as knives on Lu Fan's face, but he didn't notice it at all.

When he staggered back to the Lu family's residence, he could already see the door from afar.

But at this moment, Lu Fan's balance became unstable as he fell to the ground.

Lying on the ground, Lu Fan felt as if his entire body had lost all of its strength, only leaving behind the heat circulating within his body.

His consciousness gradually became blurry. Lu Fan was sprawled on the ground, unable to get up. Snow slowly covered his entire body.

A ray of light shone from his body, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye. He let out a low moan, and all the pores on his body opened up. A current of air could be seen swirling around him.

If a martial arts expert happened to be here, they would definitely exclaim in surprise. Lu Fan's current condition was just too similar to a reborn body in the legends of martial arts.
