Chapter 9 The Wind and Rain Come to the Dead

"I said Fang Yu, you really shouldn't have promised that Lei Yunhong to go to the wedding banquet of the official gathering!"

"Master, I also said casually, if you don't agree, then I won't go......"

"Nonsense! Can this kind of thing be a joke?"

In the Tiger Crane Hall, after a period of excitement, Fufeng, Xue Yi, and Wang Xing had long since disappeared, and finally only Tie Wanquan and Qin Fangyu were left. When Qin Fangyu heard Tie Wanquan say this, he smiled, he saw the dissatisfaction on his master's face, and he also understood in his heart that the old man was actually more worried than anyone else. After Luo Kai's death, the master who had been stereotyped for most of his life seemed to have changed as a different person. If it was in the past, he would never have been able to come to Qingfeng Tower tonight, not to mention that he also sent Xue Yi Wang Xing early in the morning to cooperate with him to make a good match, but it was just ......

"Master, Lei Jiabao is going to ambush me at Zhang Yingying's banquet, who told you this?"

“…… I won't talk to you about this matter for the time being. However, Fang Yu, the old man knows your temper better than anyone else, but I still have to advise you, don't hold a grudge against Zhang Yingxiang tonight!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Qin Fangyu's lips, he shook his head, and said, "Whether Zhang Yingxiang has a part or not, and how he mixes it in it, will know." It's just that there is one thing that I really don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Ask, why don't you ask?

"My subordinate, there is a man named Xu Linchuan, who is a jack of all trades, and the master has heard of it, right? This manager Xu told me that after the Ma Gang case, Luo Kai was falsely accused of being a bandit, and Duan Shiying originally planned to take this opportunity to instigate Shangfeng to remove you, ask you about your crimes, and expel you from the capital no matter how bad it is. How do you know, you were still retained, but instead 'God arrested' Duan Shiying, but let the boss suddenly issue a will, transfer him to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate some big case, is there such a thing?"

"Oh, you're very well-versed in all directions!" Tie Wanquan stroked his gray beard and looked at his beloved disciple with a fatherly look, "Then tell me, what is going on in the yamen that you don't know?"

"Master, don't laugh at me. In this case, there is everything that is said in the rivers and lakes, some people say that Cai Jing and his party knocked out their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, and they admit to planting; some people say that Tong Guan has the Heavenly Eagle Hall in his left hand and the right hand is a divine arrest, and now he has controlled the underworld of the Beijing Division. This is all a shallow view, at least the six-door pattern, he still didn't move, and Cai Jing's henchmen not only kept your iron big catcher, but also transferred Duan Shiying far away from the capital. Tong Guan knew that this was a plan, but he didn't dare to stop it......"

"Okay, the old man understands! I said Fang Yu, you don't have to beat around the bush. That's right, the old man was not implicated in the slightest this time, don't say that you are on the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect it myself. Behind this matter, there may be Zhang Yingxiang's intentions, and there may also be the selfishness of Cai Jing and his party, but I am iron-clad and have nothing to do with them!"

"How can I not trust the master, I am thinking, is Zhang Yingxiang regaining power?"

"Fang Yu, it's better to say less in the future, when it comes to the power struggle in the court, you should not know anything, don't mess around!"

Qin Fangyu didn't talk about it, the conversation just now seemed to make him go back to the past, and the feeling when he was studying and judging the case with the master in the Tiger Crane Hall. He knew in his heart that the old man had always been very concerned about his departure, and he had failed to live up to his cultivation, right? Now, he Qin Fangyu is no longer a member of the public family, and no matter how close the master and apprentice are, he can no longer talk about nothing.

Tie Wanquan seemed to feel that the words were too heavy, and thought about talking about something else:

"Hey! Let your kid try it out until now, it's time to close the case! I said Fang Yu, you really don't lack nobles in your life! After the old man saw you in Qingfeng Tower, he always had such a thought in his mind: Even if no one reports to the old man, you may be able to turn evil into good fortune tonight. ”

“……”

"It's not too early, don't stay with me for too long," Tie Wanquan looked at the sky outside and muttered, "Why do you look like it's going to rain......"

Qin Fangyu listened, got up and was about to say goodbye, Tie Wanquan turned around again, a rather worried look appeared on his face, he wanted to speak a little and stopped, but he still spoke:

"You are now powerful and well-informed, much stronger than your master. However, as a teacher, I have to remind you that although Duan Shiying has been transferred, the 'Divine Capture Mansion' given to him by the emperor is still in the capital, and his ears, eyes and minions are still everywhere. Back then, the so-called 'Eight Great Sword Kings of Pingxi', who had made meritorious contributions to Tong Guanxi's expedition, was now also transferred to Duan Shiying. If you want to talk about these people, the old man knows too well, and in the early years, the yamen did not handle their cases less. Their masters, in the past, were mostly scum of Wuyue, and the Central Plains could not gain a foothold, so they went away to seek a living, and most of them were my Songshan disciples. If there is a teacher, there must be a disciple, that is all evil, and the bad deeds are full of bad deeds, but then again, in terms of kung fu, they are all first-class and good! Otherwise, they would not have been taken under Tong Guan's command......

"Well, not much more. I'm old, I can't last a few years, and in the future, Fufeng, as well as Xue Yi and Wang Xing, they all have to be taken care of by you as the eldest brother......"

"Master, you still don't worry about me? These words are not practical. ”

"Fang Yu, don't laugh at me as a master, I'm old, I just talk a lot. Tie Wanquan still stood like an iron tower, but his gray beard kept shaking, "Look at you like this, how can you go back with blood on your neck?" ”

Qin Fangyu endured the constant surging feelings in his chest, silently walked to a copper basin, reached out to scoop water from the basin, and washed his face and neck. The water is very cold, I haven't come back for a few days, and the well in the backyard of the Tiger Crane Hall is still so cold. Qin Fangyu took the handkerchief handed by Tie Wanquan and did not speak.

What can he say? On the rivers and lakes, Tie Wanquan has even become the last incarnation of Wuyue, but the years are unforgiving, and this is an ending that no one can escape.

※※※

It had begun to rain outside, and the sound of the dripping rain came in, the sound was subtle and dense, but it sounded melancholy. The knife wound under Qin Fangyu's left chin was still aching, and he subconsciously reached out and touched it, still oozing blood.

Lei Yunqing's knife, if he didn't avoid it, but took it hard, what would be the consequences?

Tie Wanquan seemed to guess what Qin Fangyu was thinking, and then asked:

"How? The kung fu of the two heavenly kings, have you touched the door?"

"Dawn. Qin Fangyu unfolded his slender ten fingers, closed them together, and slowly slid back and forth, and there was a suppressed excitement between his words, "There is really such a thing in the world! Gold, wood, water, fire, if the four phases have mastered the cultivation method, they can really produce the image when they reach the pinnacle!"

"Oh, you are now more and more convinced of the truth of that Jianghu Langzhong-Medicine Master!" Tie Wanquan thought for a moment, he twisted his beard and muttered, "The five phases have reached a consensus on the rivers and lakes, all because they are easy to verify, and the martial arts master who has broken through the second vein of Ren Du can easily feel it." According to the usual saying, the metal phase is the main defense, the fire phase is the main attack, the water phase is the main change, and the wood phase is endogenous and infinite, as for this Yao ......"

"Master, I remember you said that within the Five Mountains, the best internal strength method should belong to the fog, rain and clouds of Heng Mountain?"

"That's right, that's what happened, what?"

"I thought so too. I have been referring to the Hengshan Mental Method for a long time, the Lei family's kung fu, can refine the yaoxiang, relying on the shortcut of fog, rain and clouds! Master, wait and see, one day, this method will be popular, today's martial arts, the so-called unique skills of various gangs and factions, will be tomorrow's yellow flowers!"

Qin Fangyu saw Tie Wanquan's expression quite disapprovingly, and he expected that a master from the orthodox Wuyue Sword Sect like his master would never believe in such a strange power. However, he Qin Fangyu is different, although he is a teacher of iron and perfect, he has never been outside the orthodoxy of martial arts.

That night, when he was healing Lei Rumeng's wounds, he found the skin of the Lei family's inner martial arts, and later, he continued to cultivate in the inner family to pluck the wind, and through the pure Hengshan exercises of the wind and the wind, he gradually glimpsed the door of the yaoxiang.

This night, Lei Yunhai and Lei Yunqing's two knives finally made him clear.

In the final analysis, Lei Jiaqiang was seeking a way to cultivate Yaoxiang, and when he was on the underworld list in the past, he didn't enter Lei Jiabao, could it be because of this?

Philistines think that once the doctrine of the five phases of man has come out, then from now on, all mortals' cultivation will be included in one of the five categories, and if they know their appearances, they will know what they come from, but in fact it is a big mistake!

The five phases are the key link, and the yao image is the goal.

However, what does "Yuehua Heart Sutra" say?

In the early years, he and Xie Yuan pondered how many days and nights they had been meditating and cultivating, and in the end, he was the only one who had the fate to understand it. In the whole world, in addition to talent and hard training, there are also exercises that can only be cultivated by luck!

Who's to say it's not a sideshow?

※※※

As soon as Qin Fangyu came out of the Tiger Crane Hall, there were already loyal subordinates waiting, and the subordinates were all holding umbrellas, and the rain was falling tightly. Back in Longjin Pavilion, Xu Linchuan and Cai He brothers surrounded him and planned for more than half an hour, if it weren't for Xu Linchuan's eagerness to transfer troops, tonight's deliberations would probably last like this rain until dawn.

After his subordinates had retreated, Qin Fangyu returned to the central hall, and he pushed open the window to let in the cool breeze full of moisture. In the garden outside the window, there was a deep night, and under the night was the fine feet of rain, and only the sporadic lights of the market outside, flickering in vain in the distance.

Qin Fangyu sat back in his chair, stretched out his hand as usual, picked up a bottle of wine from under the chair, and bit the cork on the mouth of the bottle with his teeth. The wind and rain outside the house gradually became stronger, the sound of tinkling rain, in the midnight wind, there was an irregular rhythm, Qin Fangyu was facing the mouth of the bottle, gulping bitterly.

What kind of night was it?

Is every night the same length?

Nature. But for everyone, there are always nights in the years, and it seems that there is no end to it.

Tonight, an eventful night, a bitter night, a long night.

At least, that's true for Qin Fangyu. Wine, he couldn't stop, and soon picked up the second bottle, and after a while, he was already drinking the third bottle, and he had an indescribable induction, which was bothering him, as if it was going to take him back to the past, back to five or six years ago, the days of the Mobei Horse Gang......

He never rejected this kind of induction that was inexplicably born in his heart, how many times, the sudden induction saved his life at a critical moment. Tie Wanquan once showed him his face, looked at his face and palmistry, and said that he was blessed with a great life, thanks to the poverty of his ancestors, and the hardships of the world, and finally repaid in his generation.

Ironically, he has been wandering at the end of the world since he remembers, from Saibei to the Central Plains, he can't remember the appearance of his parents, if he hadn't met Tie Wanquan, even if he didn't die, how good would his current situation be?

The so-called poetry of night rain is nothing more than the disease-free moaning of those who have no worries about food and clothing. For him, the most disliked thing in the days of wandering is the rainy night, and he can't find a roof that belongs to him in the four fields.

The sound of the wind and rain is the wine of the meat eater, but it is the sorrow of the powerless.

However, what does this current induction mean?

Qin Fangyu still sat still, he raised his head and drank the third bottle, and the feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer, so clear that a vague portrait seemed to emerge in his mind. He opened his eyes suddenly, his slender eyes, light silver divine light like a torch, in the hall where the candle flame was fading, as strange as a rare beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

In front of his eyes, the first thing that came to mind was his "sworn brother", the young gang leader of the Ma Gang, Ye Xiaolou, that handsome and uninhibited face, and then, tears began to flow on his face, tears rained down, overflowing on this handsome face, this face also changed with the overflow of tears, and gradually, changed into a woman's face......

Who else will come on a stormy night?

Isn't the person who came from the old man?!

Qin Fangyu casually threw the wine bottle behind him, and the wine bottle flew halfway on, and was shattered by a fierce finger force! When it was too late, the other finger force followed, straight into Qin Fangyu's heart! Seeing that this move was sure to hit, suddenly the silver light in the room was bright, and the part that was hit by this finger suddenly rippled a circle of silver ripples, as if he was wearing a shining armor.

This armor was obviously too thin, and under the impact of the opponent's fingers, the silver ripples dissipated in an instant......

Qin Fangyu forcibly swallowed the bloody smell that went straight to his throat, and the wonderful thing was that his heart was actually fluttering?

- "Snow Falls" and "Eagle Flying"?
