Chapter 157: People in the rivers and lakes
In a dark room, Daikoku fell to one knee with his right fist on his left chest.
"That is to say, that Li Gongzi and Li Huachen defeated Xiu Delu?"
A thin, cloaked man roasted his hands on a brazier, his back to the big black, his voice old and hoarse.
"Yes. His subordinates secretly found Xiu Delu's body, he was nailed to the tree by his own double knives, half of the bones of his face were broken, and his neck was twisted. "Dahei is making some progress.
"Where's Bai Yifei?"
"Her subordinates fought her for hundreds of rounds and failed to capture her alive. After Da Hei finished speaking, he said with some apprehension: "The ability of his subordinates is limited, I am afraid that ordinary soul casting martial artists will not be able to capture them alive, and your live capture order, I am afraid that it will be ......." ”
"I know, I don't blame you, it's my negligence, I didn't expect this girl to have reached the advanced level of soul casting, hehe, I'm afraid it's only one step away from Shura...... right. ”
"The subordinates are ineffective, please help the master to punish him. Daikoku knelt down on his knees and touched his forehead to the ground.
"Go back and rest and wait for me to assign you a new partner. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the gang leader not to kill, and his subordinates retired. ”
Da Hei stood up, turned and walked out of the main hall.
"To be able to defeat Xiu Delu, hehe, Li Huachen, there are two hits. Hehehehe....... ”
A door rose, and two people wore cloaks and walked into the main hall, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Broken Palm Gang Petrified Dragon (Shi Huahu), see Gang Leader." ”
The helper turned around: "You guys are here, at the foot of Xiaoyezi Mountain in the Daegu Mountains, there are two people, Bai Yifei and Li Huachen, who are investigating the information of the gods' battle armor. I want you to keep an eye on them, if you find the battle armor, seize it immediately, Bai Yifei must be captured alive, Li Huachen lives or dies, go. ”
"Yes. ”
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, the sky in the mountains was already bright.
Li Huachen led everyone to carry the car out of the deep ditch, repaired it briefly, and then set off, and did not return to Nanling Village until the afternoon.
After settling everyone, Li Huachen and Bai Yifei replenished supplies, went to a nearby highway gas station to replenish gasoline, and Zhun Er visited Daegu Mountain for the second time.
Ming Jinsheng felt that he had simply encountered a ghost. But after resting for a day and a night, he was basically healed, and although the wound was not completely healed, he was able to walk as usual, and the pain was greatly reduced.
On the edge of the river, Li Huachen was fishing with a straw hat, and Ming Jinsheng was sitting next to him.
Li Huachen gave Ming Jinsheng and Shi Tianhua a bottle of potion each, telling them that they could remove the marks, but they had to repair them.
Ming Jinsheng held the potion and looked at Li Huachen with a solemn expression: "You are an ancient martial artist. ”
Li Huachen said: "Aren't you and Ram Ge the same, otherwise why would three people deal with dozens of people in the first place?"
Ming Jinsheng sighed: "My father knows a teacher who taught me kung fu at the beginning, but he said that my muscles and bones have been trained, so I will not continue to teach." For a long time, I thought I was strong, hehe, it's funny. ”
Li Huachen said: "Your level is called Quenching Body, which is the initial level of the ancient martial artist, and it is also the entry level. Don't underestimate this entry, how many people can't break through this barrier in their lifetime, and can't reach your current level. But as soon as you don't enter the master's door, according to the rules, they can only teach you here. ”
Ram Ge walked over with a piece of mineral water, handed a bottle to each of the two people, and took a sip of the bottle himself: "My situation is similar to his, two years ago at this level, and it is still like this, there is no progress." Hey, is there anything I can do?"
Li Huachen thought for a while: "Well, there are ways, but ...... For you, it's not very realistic. ”
"Tell me. ”
Li Huachen sighed: "It's a secret." ”
"Don't worry. The ram sang: "We have been born and died together, and this secret cannot be kept?"
Li Huachen said: "If you want to practice to the level of soul casting, you must have a teacher, if you don't kowtow or apprentice, it is impossible for people to pass on the kung fu of watching the family to you." ”
"I'm kowtowing. "Ming Jin Holy Road.
"Me too, I also kowtow to offer tea to the teacher, a lot. ”
Li Huachen smiled: "You worship the teacher, and learning to solve equations and writing essays is a nature, a real apprenticeship, the ceremony is very grand, and the meaning is very profound." One day as a teacher and a father for life, after apprenticeship, your life must be the master's, and your father can't be anxious or retaliate if he kills you, he can only blame your bad life. And there are many obligations, if Master is threatened, you have to take your life to protect it. You are all golden bumps in the family, who can work for a knight?"
Both men were silent.
Li Huachen is right, they practice martial arts because they were born in the nobility, and the children of the nobility are all going to practice martial arts, which is almost a symbol of identity and power. So the aristocracy, the rich, the famous...... Even some local money will ask people to teach their children to practice martial arts. This is the trend of China.
But it is enough to practice martial arts, know how to do it in a few strokes, have a strong physique, sharp eyes, and be able to enter and exit with confidence. They will either inherit the status of nobles, or inherit a large family business and property, and will be successful politicians, businessmen, and rich second generations in the future...... No one will really go into the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, and this is not their pursuit.
Li Huachen patted Ram Ge's shoulder: "Therefore, the real apprenticeship is to establish a very sacred and serious relationship between two people with a community of destiny, and it is definitely not just a means for your father to spend a few dollars and ask a teacher to teach you how to beat your classmates." Got it?"
"What about you?" Ming Jinsheng looked at the surface of the water and suddenly turned his head: "Why did you choose to practice martial arts in the first place?"
Li Huachen looked at the water: "My life was saved by the master, if I don't practice martial arts, no one will support me, I have to fend for myself, how can I choose? You don't know how much I envy you, you, the eldest lady, Sister Xiaoran, and Saito Guidie, and even your little brother, I am very envious." You were born with everything, you have your parents to love, you have money to spend, you have a car to drive, and you can pick up girls casually. I'm miserable. ”
Li Huachen pulled the fishing rod, and the fish was unhooked. Li Huachen sighed and retracted the fishing line to re-bait.
"Once you set foot in the rivers and lakes, it is very difficult to get out. If there is something wrong with the master, you have to go to the soup and fight the fire, if the master is fine, you have to care about the world, just take those two people who ambushed us, they are my enemies, and I will always face this situation for the rest of my life, and people will constantly come to seek revenge, or fight for something about me. ”
"You're so poor, what are they fighting for you?"
Li Huachen smiled: "You are so rich, and I haven't seen a few ancient warriors rob you." ”
The two men were stunned.
"Ancient warriors have no concept of money, most of them are not short of money, for them, there are things that excite them more than money, and make them more eager to go. ”
"What's that?"
"Strength. Li Huachen frowned, looked at the water, his voice was calm, but he said categorically: "If you have power, you can conquer the world, money, power, status, and glory...... Everything, they can have. So, they are endlessly seeking power, to make themselves invincible, to always be able to defend what they have. ”
"If you make money, you will collect the mountain, can't you?"
Li Huachen smiled: "True power is like a drug, if you taste it once, you can't refuse it a second time." In their eyes, the secular war for money is childish and ridiculous, and they look at the secular people as humans watch monkeys fight over bananas, low and meaningless. ”
"What about you, do you also pursue power?" asked Ming Jinsheng with a frown.
Li Huachen turned his head and looked at Ming Jinsheng seriously, unabashedly: "Yes." ”
Li Huachen continued to look at the water: "I need strength, because only with absolute strength can I protect the people I want to protect, and I can let myself live and live well." Yesterday, if I had been strong enough, those two would have had to kneel in front of me as long as I glared at them, and they didn't even dare to run away. But they know I'm not good, so you can see that face, and look at me like a dog. ”
The topic was a bit heavy, and the three of them were silent for a long time.
Ming Jinsheng suddenly said: "Li Huachen, you are actually quite a man, I admire you very much." If you can quit, I promise that if there is mine, you will have it. And you're not my little brother, you're my friend. ”
"I can do it too!" the ram sang, "I'm so poor that I have money left!"
Li Huachen smiled and looked back at the two of them. The two guys who were still dragging 258,000 yuan before wanted to kick themselves flat and throw them in the trash, but now they are all thinking of a way out for their own future.
"I didn't retreat. ”
Although Li Huachen was smiling at this time, that smile made Ming Jinsheng and Ram Ge both experience a trace of despair and loneliness.
"I have my mission. Li Huachen said: "The master needs me now, the world is going to be in chaos, at this time, I can't go anywhere, I can only go all the way forward, either to help the master complete the great cause, or ...... Failure and death. In the future, maybe one day, everything will be calm again, and at that time, if you are still willing to help me, I will go to you. ”
"You...... Unexpectedly....... "Ming Jinsheng is very sad.
Ram Song was a little irritable: "Damn, it's really annoying." ”
"By the way, between us, I hope to go back to school and still be the same as before. Li Huachen said: "Don't get too close, otherwise everyone will find out the problem." My enemies don't know where they are, and they don't know if they will spy on me, and if they find out about your relationship with me, it may be against you. ”
"Aren't you also close to the Ying family?"
"It's too late for them. Li Huachen said: "It's already tied to me." ”
Not far away, a smile shouted excitedly with a flower crown: "Brother Zhao Yu, the master asked you how the fishing is, they are waiting for the pot!"
Li Huachen smiled slightly, and said lightly: "I was scared away by your voice just now." ”
