Chapter 4 The Beginning of the Edge II

Yu Shao nodded yes and listened carefully to Xiang Batian's words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "The first must have a humble spirit, the dart masters of the dart game have a mantra, called "three points to keep safe", which is the cultivation of a good dart master, but also an important spirit of the dart game. The so-called "three points of safety" is: with three points of laughter, let three points of reason, and drink three points of wine. The style of the dart master is not the image of the rumored horizontal eyebrows, but very modest, always with a three-point smile on his face, respecting the elders, courteous and virtuous corporal, he is really a humble gentleman, quite an ancient sage style. If there is a conflict with people when driving, playing sharp, or staying in a hotel, the dart master always gives three points, does not oppress people with martial arts, tries not to conflict with the local "wicked", and follows the way of doing things that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. The local "wicked people" generally do not find trouble with the dart master, knowing that those who come are not good, the good ones do not come, and they have no real skills, who dares to come out and dart? Therefore, the dart master always gives three points of courtesy when encountering things, and tries to make things big and small. The second is to take the lead and target the eunuch's house. ”

Yu Shao couldn't help but interject: "The dart masters of the dart game are all so humble, why would they take the lead?" And the target of the first to grab people is still the official, aren't the dart masters afraid that the government will embarrass themselves? Will those who offend the rulers have good fruit to eat? ”

Xiang Batian replied with a smile: "People who go to the rivers and lakes have a mantra: "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out." "The dart master understands this truth better, they will not easily offend anyone, let alone the government? As the saying goes, officials crush people to death at the first level, and the dart master certainly has his own philosophy of acting. Dart masters are out and about all year round, and they inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people, especially officialdom figures, and if they do not handle the relationship with the official well, it will be difficult to move an inch. Therefore, the dart master must make good friends with the officials along the way, and the more commonly used dotting method is to 'take the lead'."

"I see." Yu Shao also said with a smile.

"Third, we must have forbearance, although the local snakes along the way are not as open and secret as bandits, but they like to fight bravely, for fear that outsiders will look down on them and affect their local prestige. So, when the dart cart passed by their ground, the leading figures of the local forces led their village soldiers and trained bravery, and waved them on the road, blocking the way, arrogantly proclaiming: 'The chariot passes over the road, and the horse passes over the grass.' But for the sake of our family, we can't help but save some face for you and let you go. But you've got to win the guy in my hands, or you're going to be sorry. Master Daguan is a person who has seen the world, why not show his hands so that we can also have a long insight. 'Dart masters often walk on the dart road, so I have naturally seen a lot of such scenes, and I know their psychology. Therefore, at this time, the dart master has already jumped off the horse, and handed over his dart slip, road guide, and salute request as he treats the official etiquette: "The small number makes a living by walking darts, and this time to harass you, it is a last resort, and I hope to bear with me if I am rude." After speaking, he clenched his hands into fists. If the other party is an acquaintance, seeing that the dart master is so humble, and there is an official door post, haha laugh, immediately make a favor, get out of the way, and let the dart master pass. But there are also some snakes who don't know the height of the sky, and regard the salute of the dart master as a cowardly thing, thinking that these dart masters have no real ability at all, not only do not give way, but also arrogantly shout that they can't make a move with these dart masters. was forced to come here, so he had to let him see for a long time, so he clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Since my friend can afford it, I have to accompany him, but the guest will not suppress the master, let you make three moves first." ”

Xiang Batian said that Yu Shao and Nangong both laughed, and even Xiaohui laughed, knowing that what his father said was a bit exaggerated.

"Fourth, we must first treat provocateurs with courtesy, sit down and talk about the Tao, and never compete. As the saying goes, "there is no good taste for scolding, and there is no good hand for fighting", once you miss and hurt each other, poor friends will eat; Once defeated, the dart master will not look good. Therefore, for these door-to-door provocateurs, there are usually three ways to solve them: for the down-and-out friends in the martial arts, in the spirit of not being close to people and returning the spirit of kung fu, leave him for a meal, send some silver taels and clothes, and send this friend on the road; For the master in the martial arts, first stabilize him, entertain him as a guest every day, secretly send someone to find out the way of the master and the teacher, once it is confirmed that he is a friend in the right way, he bluntly asked him to help, treat him as a guest, after a few darts, think that "it is a piece of material", not only martial arts, but also experience, courage, and character are enough to reach the top officials, so the senior old dart master came forward to ask him to stay and do it together. If the Tao does not match, then give it away; For those who come specifically to make trouble, Brother Gongzi should be treated with caution, most of the Brother Gongzi are princes, high-ranking officials, clans or heroes of the imperial court, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty has been more than 20 years, most of the descendants of meritorious generals are straw bales of brocade clothes and jade food, and there is often a group of people who eat and drink seedlings around him to instigate him to make trouble, take the opportunity to extort people's money, and most people dare not provoke. In this case, the principle of the dart game is coaxing. The seedlings are all young chicks who don't know the world, and they will be dizzy when they are in a fight, and they will turn around when they hold them. Gangsters put the "seedlings" to the dart bureau to meet friends with martial arts, and the dart masters are to govern their bodies in the way of others, you will set up the seedlings, I will coax the seedlings, even compliments with flattery, so that the "seedlings" have forgotten the original intention when entering the store, and some of the "seedlings" are happy and confused, and they actually set up a few tables in the nearby restaurant, and invite the officials of the dart bureau to celebrate the friendship with the martial arts, and the dart bureau may be a blessing in disguise, and add a "gate shut". The fifth is to salute first and then soldier, lay down the weapon, admit that what you eat is your friend's food, wear your friend's clothes, and the people who practice martial arts in the world have the same teacher and the same origin, so you have to talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes and ask your friends to borrow the way. Under normal circumstances, there are very few "soldiers" who make a move after the "first salute", and most of them turn the war into a jade silk. The sixth is loyalty and trustworthiness, which is the most important principle, adhere to the duty of loyalty and trustworthiness to the employer, the so-called people are in the dart. If the strongman endangers the interests of the employer and the safety of life and property, all the humility and perfection spirit cease to exist, and he must draw his sword forward, sacrifice his life to protect the Lord, and fulfill his duty with the light of the sword and his life. ”

Yu Shao listened to what I Xiang Batian said, and said with some emotion: "It seems that it is not easy to do this business." ”

"This is my experience for many years" Xiang Batian said seriously: "There are also some rules and precepts in the bodyguards, quit the newly opened store, the newly opened store is not easy to understand, the bodyguard will not take risks at will, as long as the door is written on the store that is open." Quit the shop that changes owners, and the shop that changes the owner, people are unpredictable that there will be thieves, and the bodyguards will not live. Quit prostitutes' shops, some shop prostitutes will be pestered to lose their darts, and the bodyguards will not take risks. Avoid leaving your body, whether you are walking on the road or staying in a hotel, you must carry a weapon with you just in case. Whether it is a dart cart on a dry road, a dart boat on a waterway or a protection official, businessmen are not allowed to leave at will. Don't ignore suspicious points, as a dart master must have the ability to see the six ways and listen to the eight directions, once the suspicious points appear, you must pay close attention and be ready to fight."

"I have benefited a lot from listening to what my uncle said, and I will keep in mind the life mottos of these dart masters, and they can also be used as my life mottos in walking the rivers and lakes, thank you for my uncle's teachings."

"Although you are smart, you can understand it at one point, and you will draw inferences from each other and use it for yourself, the old man is not mistaken, you will definitely enjoy a good reputation in the martial arts in the future, and you can be a generation of grandmasters." Xiang Batian said.

"Thank you uncle for complimenting me again, I have a little little thing to do this time, I don't know if my uncle can give me advice." Yu Shao said.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it," Xiang Batian said refreshedly.

"Uncle, can you tell me about a big thief from the previous year?" Yu Shao asked with some concern.

Xiang Batian's face changed for a moment, and he immediately returned to his original state, and said to Yu Shao: "You know a lot about martial arts, this person is a ** thief despised by martial arts, but he is really clever in his ineffectiveness, I didn't want to mention this matter again, seeing that you are so curious about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I will tell you about it." ”

Yu Shao, Nangong and Xiaohui all looked at Xiang Batian intently.

"I didn't see the true face of this person back then, nor did I fight with him, I also participated in the hoe and rape conference hosted by the beggar gang, this person left a terrifying five-finger deep hole on my door, it can be seen that his martial arts are high, the Central Plains martial arts have never seen such martial arts, may not be the people of the land of China, the vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty All kinds of people can enter and leave the Central Plains at will, now the sea is developed in Dongying, Goryeo and some island countries on the south of the sea have a large number of people living in the land of China, but also brought foreign martial arts, greatly enriched the martial arts of the Central Plains. I think this person should be from the Western Regions, but he is also very familiar with Jiangnan, it can be seen that this person has traveled a lot, and has stayed in the Central Plains for a lot of years, but the strange thing is that the dart entrusted is in the east of Goryeo, I did not refuse because this person is a ** thief hated by the rivers and lakes, I still sent his brocade box to Goryeo in the spirit of dart, at that time Goryeo was fighting with the Ming Dynasty, Wang Goryeo married a lot of princesses and nobles in the Yuan Dynasty, and the emperor's daughter, with a son-in-law relationship, So at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it was always against the Ming Dynasty, which had just been founded. I arrived at the border of the Yalu River, unable to cross the river, both sides will think I am a spy, I had to disguise myself as a Korean in the middle of the night, and drove a boat alone overnight, to the border I abandoned the boat and jumped into the grass on the shore with light skills, and after careful observation to confirm that there was no danger to the Goryeo country, of course, the Koreans did not know what the dart game was, I carried the brocade box and came to Kaesong according to the address given by the thief. Goryeo has been influenced by Han culture, even speaking and writing is also Chinese characters, which is not difficult, even the living habits are no different from the Han people, but also eating white rice and leaning on the sea fish, just like returning to Jiangnan, I found the address of the dart after I was full of wine and food, it seems that it is still a big family, after the doorman reported a young woman, long and its Peugeot, it is estimated that it is also twenty-eight appearance, although the age is small but generous let me enter the house to rest, a middle-aged woman brought tea, And I was shocked to invite me to tea in the soft language of Wu Nong, who seemed to be a young woman's servant, standing behind the girl with a faceless face. I looked at them carefully, the middle-aged woman who looked like a servant was slightly older than me, a standard Jiangnan person, long white and pure estimated to be a beauty when she was young, the girl was amazing, the eyebrows were picturesque, the demeanor was outstanding, the integrity was young, the beauty was amazing, I didn't dare to look at it directly, I had never seen such a beauty, I could only describe it with the country and the city, the old man is also a person with rich experience, and I have seen countless beauties, I am a martial artist who does not pay much attention to the appearance of the beauty, and has no interest, I can see this girl, My heart is still a little faster, and I wish I was dozens of years younger and more handsome, so that I could pursue her. ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Batian also smiled, everyone laughed, Yu Shao was thinking that such a reckless man would also have children's feelings, and thought that the dart game was his life and everything.

"When the aunt saw me looking at the young lady so rudely, she yelled at me loudly: 'Xiang Batian, you are a famous figure in martial arts, and you have always behaved in the Central Plains, how come you have come here to show your hypocritical face and become so dirty.' After saying that, she was grumpy and attacked me, and I had to parry and fight back, and I was even more surprised that she actually knew herself. Straight dismantled more than 100 moves, although this aunt's martial arts are good, but I am still a little worse, and a few more moves I will be able to subdue him, I didn't think that the girl next to him jumped up, fell between the two of us, and easily pressed our fighting posture, the internal force is extraordinary, I didn't pay attention to the girl at the time, inadvertently pinched by her pulse, I don't dare to turbulent, the girl's internal force is also comparable to me, but the shot is extremely fast, the move is unheard of, to a little bit of the thief's meaning. The girl smiled and let go of me, and invited me back to my seat, and I felt rude and apologized with my fists: 'It's really rude to you, you have offended Miss, I can't help but see Miss so beautiful.' The girl smiled and said: "Under the surname Li, just now my aunt was a little grumpy, and please take care of the hero, listen to your accent is my aunt's hometown, my aunt is a Chinese Jiangnan clan, I don't know that the hero came all the way from Jiangnan to find me, what's the matter?" The girl asked politely. 'Oh, I'm Xiang Batian of the Central Plains Tiger Dart Bureau. The girl interjected, 'I know this, my aunt seems to know you.' 'I'm also very strange, you and your aunt should be from the Central Plains, I don't know how to live in Goryeo?' I'm someone to send this brocade box with you'. After that, I took out the brocade box. 'We fled the troubles of the Central Plains and came to live here. The girl said as she opened the brocade box. I was thinking in my heart, the Central Plains is very peaceful now, and the Ming Dynasty should have been founded before you were born, so why should there be any trouble, but it is not good to ask about the reason. After the brocade box was opened, there was nothing shocking in it, just a black glove, just made of metal soft wire, but I didn't take it to heart, there were some belts or gloves made of gold and silver wire, which I don't know what metal was made of black and shiny, but it was not surprising, there was black gold in the Russian principality. The aunt didn't feel anything rare, only the girl's face changed slightly. There are no other objects or notes in the brocade box, and I don't know what the ** thief is for, maybe only the girl knows all this. She put away her gloves and asked her aunt to bring me two taels of silver, I said that I had received the dart gold, flatly refused, and told him that the Central Plains is now living and working in peace and contentment, much more peaceful than Goryeo, and I will go back to the Central Plains if I have the opportunity. "Thank you uncle for his hard work, and also told me a lot of things about the Central Plains, I will return to the Central Plains, and I will visit you when the time comes." "Okay, I'm waiting for you in Jiangnan" hugged my fist at the girl, and I left, just like when I came, I crossed the Yalu River safely and returned to Jiangnan."

After the three of them listened, the more they felt that this ** thief had something to do with the Nangong family, Xiaohui told his father about Nangong, Xiang Batian said: "I already know about Nangong, the two people you said about stealing 'Feng Xueling' are also a little similar to the girl and aunt who live in Goryeo, and the girl is also closely related to the ** thief, but to say yes, there are also many questions, Yu Shao's analysis is somewhat reasonable, but after several generations of operation of the Nangong family, it is impossible to crack the secret passage secret weapon, When I arrived, I felt that there was someone from the Nangong family who had left the island, and this person was the closest person to the Nangong family, and he knew more about the defense of Gongshan Island than the two Nangong brothers, after all, they were young, and their father left the house early and disappeared, and some things were too late to tell the two brothers. ”

Yu Shao was impressed by Xiang Batian, and after listening to his analysis, he felt that this person was thick and detailed, and he was by no means an ordinary martial arts master, and his intelligence was also quite conceited.

"This matter can't be rushed, on the one hand, waiting for Nangong Hammer to come back, on the other hand, waiting at home with peace of mind, the two black-clothed people who are waiting are impatient, and they will go to the island again." Xiang Batian said: "Now that it's time for lunch, it's rare for several young talents to gather together in my Huwei Dart Bureau, and I will have a good reception." ”

Yu Shao and Nangong also drank with Xiaohui's father unceremoniously, remembering that the three of them drank and chatted last night and stayed in Lihu Lake all night, they all laughed and told Xiang Batian about it. Xiang Batian didn't blame them, and said that young people should be open-minded and uninhibited, so that they can be heroic, and I drank much better than you when I was young.

After the meal, Nangong and Yu Shao went home separately, and Yu Shao said to Xiaohui that he would call him next time.

Yu Shao took Nangong's boat to Gongshan Island first, Nangong got off the boat and gave the boat to Yu Shao, and did not leave Yu Shao in the Nangong family, Yu Shao drove the boat alone towards the opposite shore, thinking about it all the way for a few days, it can be said that he has gained a lot, and he also learned some real things about the rivers and lakes, and he also knew the general situation of the famous Nangong family and the Huwei Dart Bureau. Yu Shao took out Da Ah Fu and fiddled, estimating that the two beautiful girls in the Wang family's compound must be anxious.

The night did not return, dusk appeared, Yu Shao's parents did not take it to heart, knowing that their son was too old to get away from them and wanted to spread his wings and fly high, he should also let go of his hands and feet and let him hone it, this child's temper is so stubborn, and he does not want to take the test to gain fame and fame to light the lintel, but he is extremely enthusiastic about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, Yu Shao's parents are enlightened people, since their son has no intention of fame and fortune, don't force him, let him be free, but you can often see him satisfied.

Bai Mingyue and Yin Xiaomei were a little angry, they took care of themselves and walked the rivers and lakes alone, they didn't take them with them, they were afraid of him, this boy brother has no experience in the rivers and lakes, unlike Yin Xiaomei who has traveled through the southern provinces, Bai Mingyue understands the northern realm, although she is a woman, she is not a weak woman, except for her internal strength and kung fu, she is above Yu Shao. Yu Shao didn't tell where he was going, in case there were three long and two short, but the two beauties had a deep love for him. The two of them are sisters now, watching the boats come and go on the lakeside, waiting for Yu Shao to appear in front of them and repair him properly.

Yu Shao came down to Nangong and his boat, went to the shore, and after the smell of wine was dispersed by the wind, his face was a little white and haggard. Seeing Bai Mingyue and Yin Xiaomei in front of him, he ran over.

Bai Mingyue and Yin Xiaomei saw Yu Shao's miserable face, their hearts softened, and they wanted to give him a pink fist, but now they only have love and pity, tenderness rises, and they look at Yu Shao with concern. Yu Shao took out two pairs of Ah Fu Axi from the baggage and handed them to them, and the two of them took it happily, their hearts were shy, and they all stared at Yu Shao with affection. Yu Shao blushed embarrassedly.

Yin Xiaomei was shy for a while, then she returned to her lively girlish appearance, and hugged Yu Shao and didn't mind Bai Mingyue by her side. After many days of contact, Bai Mingyue knew that Yin Xiaomei had this character, how smart Bai Mingyue was, and she had already seen that Yu Shao just regarded Yin Xiaomei as her sister, and because of her deep affection for him, Yu Shao would not say it clearly. Since Yu Shao's sister is his sister, he didn't break the vinegar vat when he first met, and he also likes Yin Xiaomei's innocence and liveliness, so he will temporarily be a rival in love, but in the end he is still his best friend. Yin Xiaomei also knew that Yu Shao preferred Bai Mingyue, but the opportunity for love was to be fought for by herself, and she didn't have no room at all, Yu Shao at least cared about her.

Bai Mingyue glanced at Yin Xiaomei, and scolded softly: "You little prodigal hoof, when you see Yu Shao, your heart is rippling." Bai Mingyue also learned some witty words beside Yin Xiaomei. took the burden on Yu Shao's body, pulled Yin Xiaomei's hand away and said, "Look at Yu Shao's face, let him go back to the compound to rest for a while."

"Yo yo yo, Sister Bai, you haven't married Yu Shao yet, so you care about him so much, just now you were still talking about how to repair Yu Shao, why did you have a different sister when you saw him."

"You sharp-toothed girl, see that I don't tear your mouth." After saying that, he stepped forward and raised his fist.

Yin Xiaomei sensitively dodged and ran towards the compound, Bai Mingyue chased after Yin Xiaomei closely, and Yin Xiaomei shouted while running: "The vinegar god is here again."

Looking at this scene, Yu Shao smiled sweetly in his heart and slowly returned to the Wang family's compound.
