The summer wind, the slightest warmth blows on the face, mixed with the humid air in the magic capital, in the sunshine, moistens the hearts of the people,

Gentle and warm.

"Three days in the world, three years in the underworld. Immortal Master, my girl, has been in retreat, will it be fine?" In the courtyard, the second elder of Qingqiu drank tea and turned to ask me.

I nodded, and sighed, "It's not going to happen." It's just that I didn't expect it to take so long at first, with her qualifications, if I had, this process would only take more than a month. ”

The old lady Qingqiu pressed her brows and worried, and said to me with a smile: "How can that girl compare with the immortal master, although the immortal master you are reincarnated as a mortal mortal in the flesh, but the Buddhist cultivation is all reincarnation cultivation, your previous life is also a devout monk, cause and effect are very few, although hindered by the mortal body, the talent is insufficient, but the foundation is solid, the foundation is far-reaching, everything just needs to come naturally, the so-called talent, you don't need to care." ”

I was silenced by the words, then smiled and nodded. 、

This is true, in fact, I have long felt that my Dao cultivation can already be said to be complete in merit, and as for physical cultivation, it is dispensable. - And I am not yet forty years old, but I am one hundred and twenty years old, how will I spend my life in the next eighty years and so that I will not be boring and interesting?

It's not easy. For a person who has no desires and desires, naturally will not pursue any glory and wealth, will not get married, and basically will not have children, he has nothing to do with this world.

The rest of my life is long.

Fortunately, he has always devoted himself to art in this life, likes literature and martial arts, writes books and performs martial arts all his life, entertains others and entertains himself, and can always have a willing thing to do for the rest of his life, so that he will not need to rely on knocking wooden fish to pass the time.

Of course, there will be a lot of loneliness in the future, and it will be an old thing, and there are apprentices and chaos today, and it is impossible to really clean up for the time being.

Thinking of my apprentice, I know that her past life is the reincarnation of Hades. As the core of the six realms of reincarnation, this Hades order has been running every week since there were human beings, with a history of far more than a thousand years, and in these many years, the Hades order receives how many living beings are reincarnated every day, and the hatred and resentment contained in it and unwillingness, I don't know what I am, so it is really difficult to wash away the water from all over the world.

Now that she has received my true inheritance, she wants to cleanse her soul, and then she will be pure and immaculate, and she will no longer be stained with the filthy air and dirt of the world. But for me, it was the easiest step in cultivation, but it was the most difficult level for her to cultivate.

Fortunately, she is not me, she is cultivating in the underworld, not in the human world, otherwise, even if she was born as a demon immortal and has a long lifespan that is several times that of an ordinary person, she doesn't know if it is enough for the time she has lost in cultivation.

This is the fundamental reason why if you have done too many sins in your previous life, you will be able to attain the true Dharma in this life, and you will not have a chance to become enlightened.

"Master leads the way into the door, and the practice depends on the individual. Her current cultivation is all due to her own karma, and none of us can help. Cultivation is, after all, your own business, and you can only rely on yourself to get through. Let's just wait, and there's no need to worry too much. ”

The old man Qingqiu put down the teacup, leaned on the chaise longue, took a sip of the tea leaves in his mouth, and said at this time: "That's the reason, old woman, we just need to protect the girl's body, and we don't need to worry about the rest." ”

The old woman Qingqiu nodded in response after listening.

Turning around, the old man of Qingqiu looked at me again and asked, "Immortal Master, didn't you do the work before?"

I heard him ask about this, and shook my head with a wry smile: "Being targeted all day long, where do you do it long." Hey, do you think I will become the first enlightened person in history to be targeted by mortals and starve to death?—— I'm afraid that it will be up and down for 5,000 years, and I, the enlightened person, will have the most miserable life. ”

The old man of Qingqiu has also inquired about the experiences I have been targeted for more than ten years these days, and he is also angry at this time, and said: "On the surface, there are a group of dramas, children and women come to pretend to be a façade, and the conspiracy and persecution behind them are endless, but it is really a group of beasts with more vicious hearts than snakes and scorpions, and even an old man like me, who was born as a demon, is disgusted by their actions." - However, the immortal master doesn't have to worry too much, you know, old man, I have lived for hundreds of years, and I have heard and seen a lot, although there are few monks who can cultivate and become enlightened throughout the ages, but there are definitely some who are worse than you. You are by no means the worst. “

I couldn't help but scratch my head when I heard this, and laughed at myself: "Compared with the ancients, this seems to be a very bleak thing in itself." “

"Gee, what's this kind of thing. The old woman Qingqiu answered: "There is a man in the West who is said to be the reincarnation of the Son of God, right? You see what happened to him after he became enlightened, and he was crucified and died. His cultivation path is much worse than yours, isn't it still written as a story, what is the title of the book, Nerve? Immortal Master, the title of the book is "Nerve", right?"

This comfort made me feel helpless.

"You should just take the title of the book 'Nerves'," I shook my head with a wry smile and explained, "There are three thousand avenues, and the roads are all different." He was not called a death, but a martyr. It is said that since the last great flood wiped out the world, our generation of human beings was born, and its descendants spread from the polar regions. Because the communicator is a person with snow-white skin, there is a saying that white people are supreme in the early days of the West. Art, poetry, philosophy, and alchemy are also said to have been transmitted from the people of the polar regions. - Because it is the way of cultivation that has been inherited, not the way of self-perception in the East. Therefore, Western spiritual cultivation, simply put, is the cultivation of faith, which relies on the piety and power of faith in the ancient gods to practice the Dharma of one's own body. There have been many complicated years, including the belief in the thousand-year-old snake god and the belief in the horse god, in that era when the tribal culture was obvious, there were many tribes selected the most youthful and beautiful maidens who would serve the gods in the flesh, thus giving birth to the descendants of the gods, and the centaur clan with the body of a man and a horse is the product of the approximate period. The creation of vampires was also in a similar period. It's just that in the eyes of those of us who practice the Dao, this is just a side path, and we don't know if we can attain enlightenment, but the side effects are not small. ——In the earliest theological culture of the West, it originated from the belief in the sacred forest, and the belief in worshipping the sacred tree, based on ancient historical records, today's four continents and five oceans, in the earliest period, was a continent, called the Mu continent, and there were three blessed lands on this continent, thirty-six small blessed lands, and seventy-two caves of heaven. Later, because of the battle of the ancient gods, or the earth's self-change, the continent was divided into three continents, namely the American continent, the African continent, and the Eurasian continent, and then the Eurasian continent changed again to form today's European continent and Asian continent. - And the belief in the sacred tree is essentially to worship the trees that grow on these many blessed lands, and here, naturally, is also the holy land on earth. Cultivating in such a place is naturally closest to the brilliance of God and the blessings of heaven and earth. - The culture of martyrdom was born during this period. According to wild legends, it is the ancient period, the period when gods and humans lived together in the world, in fact, it may be a demigod, that is, the sons of gods born from the holy women and their gods chosen by those tribes, some of them are born with the ability to be different from ordinary people, and they are also ordinary. At this time, in order to save the tribe, there were mortal warriors who prayed for faith in the true gods to give them divine power, and during the period of the sacred forest, there were human warriors who pierced their bodies with spears and pierced them on the sacred tree, and did not die for seven days, and then broke free, and then the strength was infinite, just like an example of the gods descending to earth. But this can only be regarded as borrowing divine power, and for truly pious cultivators, they naturally have a higher pursuit, not divine power, but want to fly to the divine realm and live in heaven. Therefore, in the same way, to pierce one's flesh and hang it under the sacred tree is to martyrdom. - This is where martyrdom comes from. Therefore, the death of the Son of God was not a tragic death, but a martyrdom. Otherwise, why didn't his disciples burn him to death with a fire? The ancient West treated the devil and the magic stick with the same means, burning him to death with a blazing fire. This is the case with vampires, and there is also a very famous historical tragedy, Joan of Arc, who was also burned to death in the end. - Although in this era, there are few cultivators, so it can basically be regarded as a hundred taboos. But we don't know much about Western theology, so we need to say less. so as not to be known to the Christians. Cause trouble. “

The second elder Qingqiu listened to my words and nodded to be taught.

I saw that the sun was still shining, stood up, and said, "While the sun is shining, I'll go out and find other jobs to do." However, since they have set their sights on me again, I'm afraid it's hard to find a job. “

- Three hours later,

I lazily leaned on the wall of the Bund facing the river, watching the Huangpu River rolling in front of me, the boats coming and going, the birds circling, and the reflection of the pearl of the magic capital in the water.

Hey, that's exactly what I guessed. It's very difficult to find a job now, and for ordinary jobs that have nothing to do with conspiracy, as long as I call on the front foot, the back foot will be inexplicably squeezed out.

In today's era of science and technology, it is strange that someone can still grab such a hard work as a laborer.

The rest are all problematic jobs, all kinds of everything, just a little look, you can find that there is a shadow of conspiracy behind it, and it is all calculated by people with ulterior intentions.

People, for the sake of money, they can really do anything.

I refused to get into that mess, so they tried to get me in and use me.

It's ugly enough of the world.

But the ancients also said: If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be wide, and you will reach widely.

To put it simply: can a living person still be suffocated by urine?

Originally, I wanted to talk about it in a few years, but now that the situation is so complicated, there is no way, I can't worry so much, so I have to take the next step in the kung fu industry and do sparring in the ring.

As long as you do sparring, not in the ring, you won't cause misunderstanding among those powers.

Certainly, the job of a sparring partner can be summed up simply: to be beaten.

It's not a hit.

After the plan was decided, I set off for the Demon Capital Ring Tube.

This is already a special job, a profession that very few people do, so you can't find it on the Internet.

The big information on the Internet is more about ordinary people, and as for those special jobs, recruitment information is basically not visible on the Internet.

Many special jobs in the world are basically passed down from family to family, from father to son, and from son to grandchild.

What must be called special work is basically work that ordinary people can't do, some of which they don't like to do, and some of which they can't do.

For example, pulling dead people in the crematorium is a special job that ordinary people don't like to do, and playing in the ring to earn bounties is a job that ordinary people can't do.

Ring sparring, it's basically both, a special job that ordinary people can neither look down on nor do.

INTERVIEWER How many people in this world are willing to be beaten every day?

-- Even though the mind can be calm, is the physical fitness sufficient? You must know that the matter of beating people to death with fists and feet has not been obvious throughout the ages.

I didn't see it, those kung fu stars are just making movies, they are good routines, and they don't want to be disabled.

The martial arts profession is far from being as simple as ordinary people think, this is the hard work of the Eight Classics.

But the red dust in the world is originally a sea of suffering, so what is not suffering? In my eyes, there is no difference.

And being born a man, I don't want to live like a sissy.

Men should be hot-blooded, fist and foot kung fu, this is the most enjoyable way for men to live in their lives.

Fighting, drinking, and picking up girls, such a way of living is the real pleasure of men.

I really admire kung fu people who are good at kung fu and can rely on kung fu to make a living.

In fact, it's not just me, in the eight gates of the ancient rivers and lakes, Buddhism has a deep relationship with martial arts and martial arts and killing people, otherwise there is that ancient saying: put down the butcher's knife and stand on the ground for the Buddha.

The friendship between Buddhism and Wumen has existed since ancient times. The general reason may be that both kinds of people are straightforward, and there are not so many conspiracies and exploits, unlike those pear orchards, thousands of gates, temples, and trade routes, where there are intrigues everywhere, and they are evil and ugly everywhere.

——

Get off the subway, come to the ring tube in the magic capital, and walk in.

As soon as he entered the door, the breath of the martial arts came to his face,

The sound of fists bursts, and the feet break the wind.

Bang!

The sound is full of blood. I was so happy when I just listened to it.

Turn your head to look,

In the ring, fighting, practicing,

Under the ring, punching bags, doing stretching,

Next to the equipment, exercise strength, increase new muscles,

In front of me, there was a delicate little beauty, smiling at me.

"Sir, how can I help you?" asked me with a sweet smile.

This sweet and glutinous voice is really good.

Speaking of which, the unique sweet and glutinous shouting voice of the little sister of the magic capital, I only heard it when I first came to the magic capital two thousand years ago, and then I came to the magic capital many times, but I never heard that kind of beautiful voice again.

This time, I didn't expect to hear it again, which is really joyful.

It's just that I'm not here to pick up girls.

It was the first time in my life to do this kind of work, and I was inevitably a little embarrassed, and when I heard her ask me, I inevitably felt a little hot on my face, smiled a little stiffly, and said to her: "Excuse me, are you recruiting people here?"

The little beauty was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled again, looked at me, and asked curiously, "What job are you looking for?"

I was suddenly a little embarrassed to say anything, so I reached out and pointed to the ring.

The little beauty's eyes lit up and she asked me, "Are you going to apply for a coach?"

"I'm pretty much trained. I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"Are you an athlete in the ring? Have you won an award before, or do you have similar experience at other venues?"

I felt even more embarrassed, scratched my hand on my head twice, plucked up the courage to say, "I'm looking to be a sparring partner for an athlete in the ring, may I ask for a job?"

"Sparring?" the little beauty looked at me in surprise.

"The one who was beaten. "I thought to myself at this time, fortunately now my heart is like water, and I have no desire for beautiful women, otherwise, just my two sentences, if I am picking up girls,

It is estimated that he can only die alone.

The little beauty looked at me seriously again, and then asked me softly, "May I ask how old you are this year?"

I told you the truth: "I am thirty or eight years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"Huh, you can't tell from your face that you're already so big?" the little beauty was so surprised that her big eyes were a little exaggerated, as if they had turned into goldfish eyes, and she stared at me like that.

"Well, there's an age limit for this job?" I was so embarrassed that I was a little embarrassed.

The little beauty shook her head with a smile at this time, and said sweetly: "There is no hard and fast age limit, but I am worried that you are old and your body will not be able to stand the hardship." ”

This voice is so beautiful, my slightly uneasy heart was soothed by her sweet and glutinous voice.

"That's fine, I'm able to endure hardship. I hurriedly said.

"Do you have any experience, and where have you worked before?"

I'm still honest: "I don't have any work experience yet." This is the first time I've done this job, but I really like it and I'm willing to endure hardships. Can you give me a chance?"

When the little beauty heard this, she smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll call you the head coach to come, and you can talk to him." ”

"Thank you, thank you, beauty is beauty, people are so nice. I complimented from the bottom of my heart.

When the little beauty heard this, her smile was revealed, and the two cute tiger teeth flashed white and shiny, like ceramics and stars.

——

"Tell me, why do you want to be a sparring partner in the ring?" the head coach nodded when he saw me, although he was thin, but he could barely see a little sportsmanship, and then asked me.

I explained seriously: "I have loved kung fu since I was a child, and I have always wanted to make a living from martial arts. ”

"So, you learned martial arts since you were a child?"

I was a little embarrassed after listening to it: "I don't practice martial arts since I was a child, I just like martial arts since I was a child, and I barely practiced light skills, but later entered the society, and this ability to kick the wall and jump off the house has gradually been wasted." There must be high-rise buildings everywhere, and there is no place for me to jump and play. And wearing professional clothes, I can't stretch my legs and feet. Hehe. ”

"Then you didn't practice anything else?" the head coach smiled and nodded, and asked me again.

I scratched my head: "I've practiced a little bit of superficiality, but they're all very ordinary, and they can be a little stronger than ordinary people, but in front of professionals, it's really not a good ability." ”

"I heard you don't have any experience in this business. ”

I nodded, "Not really, but I'd love to do it, and please give me a chance." ”

"I'm afraid not, this line is very hard, and you don't have the ability to do it, I'm afraid that others will knock you down with two fists. The head coach shook his head.

I hurriedly said: "But I have 200 pounds of strength, and this body is quite strong, but I was beaten, and I didn't go to the ring, so it should be fine." ”、

"Two hundred pounds of strength?" The head coach glanced at my tall and thin body again and nodded, "That's pretty good." However, it is not enough for the sparring partner to have strength, and it is not for you to go to the ring to beat people, but to be beaten. My professional athletes have heavy hands and feet, and you have never done this business, and when the time comes, you will be beaten up for a good time, and I will pay for the medical expenses, and you will also suffer a living crime, and you will not be able to commit it. Wouldn't it be okay to do something else?"

"I just love what I do, I really do. "Again, I plead with the coach.

The coach sighed lightly, nodded slightly, and said, "As long as you can endure hardships and survive the entry stage, you will be able to live well in the future." It's just that my athletes here have heavy hands and feet, and now you are not at ease. No matter which professional ring you go to, no one dares to use you. The most important thing you need is to gain some experience first. ”

"So where can I find a job to gain experience?" I don't want to work in a certain place, my goal is just to make a living from this business.

"You go to the martial arts university, there are many students there who also need sparring. And it must be a student, and the hands and feet are not so heavy. You can go and give it a try. If you really like it, you must be ready to endure hardship, otherwise don't do it at all. ”

"Thank you, thank you, head coach! I'm going to go to the martial arts university to find a sparring job, and if I have enough experience in the future, I'll ask you to hire me again. ”

Smiling and shaking hands with the head coach, I took the subway again.

- This time, I came to the Modu Martial Arts University.

This time, as soon as I arrived at the school gate, I met a student who was recruiting a sparring partner there.

I went over to apply for a job, passed the interview very smoothly, and then went straight to work, was brought into the school's training hall, and worked directly.

However, accidents always happen when you don't expect them.

The person who needed to spar was not the student, but his master!

I looked into the ring.

It was a young man of my age, handsome and a little wicked.

The most important thing is that his appearance is vaguely familiar.

I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly it came to me:

It turned out to be him, the young leader of the beggar gang!

I recognized that this was the young leader of the beggar gang that I had met when I was seventeen or eighteen years old.

In the air conditioner, a cool breeze blows,

It's like the wind in the underworld.
