A cold wind blew, waking me up in my thoughts, look at the time, it's sunset, think about it or get ready to go home!

The place where I am standing is the famous Mujia Cliff.

This Mujia Cliff is a steep stone mountain outside Mujia Village, this kind of pure stone mountain is really rare on the boundary of the Loess Plateau, but it stands straight between the Loess Slope and the Yellow River, proud of the existence of the heroes, guarding this land!

So since I was a child, I have had a special affection for this mountain, and I come to this mountain to play when I have nothing to do.

Mujia Cliff also has a special feature, that is, it is a smooth stone wall of more than 100 meters according to the loess slope on one side, not an inch of grass grows, can not go up and down, one side faces the Yellow River, verdant and thick, can climb, but can only go to the top of the cliff at most 100 meters can not be on it.

Because there is a protruding stone platform on the top of the cliff of Mujia, stretching straight above the Yellow River, although it is not long, but it blocks the way to the top, it is like a giant wearing a hat with a long brim, and he can't see the top, and ordinary people will never risk their lives to climb this stone platform!

So in my memory, no one has ever been to the stone platform above, and I am also a young man who longs for this cliff top, but it can only be a fish in the abyss, and I can't go up at all. When I grew up, I also learned to turn the stars three years ago before I first climbed this stone platform.

Standing on the stone platform and looking down, you can see it at a glance below; Standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, the mist is shrouded in water, which is why I like to practice here later, because I am close to nature and not afraid of being discovered by others.

With a slight touch of my toes, I jumped into the air, and with an elegant turn I landed steadily on the big tree below, and then walked towards the village, where my father was probably already preparing a meal waiting for me to go back.

I walked into the courtyard sweating profusely.

My father was coming out of the study, and I shouted, "Dad, what did you cook today?" ”

My father looked at me with a smirk on his face, and said helplessly: "The harrier turns over, the arhat is drunk, the five-fingered mountain, and the green leaf floats on the water."

I asked stupidly, "Dad, are you eating?" Or do you practice martial arts?

Father smiled: "It's right to eat and practice!" ”

I secretly thought in my heart, what harrier turned over is not braised chicken wings, what Luohan drunken hall is not steamed suckling pig, what five-fingered Yashan is not pepper duck palm, the green leaves floating on the water is naturally green vegetable and tofu soup, I have long remembered the names of these dishes.

My father looked at me helplessly and said, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

I hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!" If you don't want to, I'm starving to death, this is my favorite food! ”

Although there are things to do at home, my father often cooks the dishes I like to eat, and since my mother left early, my father can be said to take care of me meticulously.

After thinking about it, I couldn't wait to eat it.

As long as my father cooks like this, no matter what is commonplace, my father will always give them a martial arts move. My father said that I did this so that I always remember to practice martial arts, which can not only strengthen my body but also protect my family and defend the country, which is also related to the tradition of our Murong family.

There are fifty or sixty families in our Mujia Village, nearly 300 people, all of whom know martial arts, regardless of men, women and children, even the aunt who raises pigs in the village can use a few powerful moves. But with the passage of time, more and more people choose to follow the literature, and the practice of martial arts has slowly faded into people's sight.

"Look at the current weak scholars, all frail and sickly, skinny, all day long, except for those who are not there, they can't even protect themselves at the most basic level when they encounter danger, they can only beg to rely on others, but the only one who can be relied on in this world is always themselves, it's really sad and lamentable, and it's no wonder that the people in the medical school are so crowded today!" My father often said that.

My father was right, I hadn't been sick once since I was a child.

But these are intolerable in my father's eyes, so I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and learning literature is also used to consume leisure time after practicing martial arts.

But I don't really agree with my father's idea, Xi Wen is the same as practicing martial arts, sometimes the mind is more important than martial arts moves, so if you want to learn better martial arts, then you must have a certain level of cultivation, so since I was a child, in addition to insisting on practicing martial arts every day, I must insist on reading every day, reading all kinds of books, up to the "Four Books", "Five Classics", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Historical Records", Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, etc., down to the field history of foreign talks, Qimen Dunjia, fortune-telling, five elements of feng shui, etc. Although I am not proficient in all of them, I am not overwhelmed by general things, and I myself like things like wild history, fortune-telling, and five elements of feng shui, which I think are both mysterious and interesting.

After dinner, I casually discussed martial arts with my father, and there was nothing to do, and then a person suddenly appeared in my mind, he was the old man who lived alone on the back hillside. It's been more than half a month since the last time I went to him, and I don't know what he's doing now. Don't even think about it, go straight out and walk through the village to the back mountain to find the old man.

The old man lives on the platform of a loess slope in the back mountain, the soil slope platform is backed by the loess slope behind, the width of more than 100 feet in front, most of it is naturally formed, and a small part is artificially built, and an old elm tree on it looks more than a hundred years old! There are five caves and three thatched huts built on the platform. The old man usually makes a living by seeing a doctor, and the villagers go to him for treatment if they have any minor illnesses and pains, but unfortunately the old man's temper is strange, and the people who look for him have no good face to show others, and the number of doctors in the village is gradually increasing, so there are fewer and fewer people who go to the old man to see a doctor, and the old man has to pick some medicinal materials to sell in the market to barely survive.

I knew the old man very early, I remember when I was a child, I often went to the old man to pick mulberry elm under the elm tree to eat, many times was blown away by the old man, and then there was a time when I was greedy to steal food, accidentally fell from the tree, and screamed in front of the old man's house, the old man came out and glanced at it and ignored it and went in again.

I continued to cry and make a fuss, and after a while, the old man kicked the door open angrily and shouted: "Don't scream, the old man is going to be annoyed to death!" ”

I also said angrily: "I've fallen like this, and you don't save me, are you still a doctor who saves lives?" ”

The old man smiled contemptuously: "I'm not a doctor in the first place!" ”

I was so anxious that I immediately shouted: "You are a liar, you don't know how to see a doctor at all, liar, liar, liar, liar......"

The old man was suddenly unhappy and said, "Little doll, I don't know how to see a doctor?" Don't talk nonsense, I'll cure you of this disease today, and you still say I won't see a doctor! ”

Then he picked me up in one hand and went to his house.

The first time I entered his room, it was full of all kinds of medicinal herbs and a lot of dried animal carcasses, which looked terrifying, and in addition to these, there were some extremely rudimentary furniture. As soon as I entered the house, I felt the smell of medicine.

I frowned and held my breath, and the old man noticed it and said angrily: "You little doll, it smells bad, you have to smell it every day, and make sure you are not sick in your life!" ”

He casually slapped my arm a few times with his hand, and then popped out a sentence: "It's broken!" ”

I'm still thinking, if I break a bone, I can't wrap it up quickly, I only heard two clicks, I screamed in pain, I was about to scold, but I didn't expect my hand to move, I swallowed the words back into my stomach!

I looked at the old man with a strange face, and the old man took advantage of the situation to touch my arms and legs again with his hands, and said in surprise: "Little doll, the bones are good, and it is a good material for martial arts!" ”

Then I was a little scared and ran home in a panic.

Since then, the old man's attitude towards me has changed greatly, every time I go to steal the mulberry elm he is happy to take the initiative to help me pick, and then simply pick it up and put it on the stone table in the yard for me to eat, often take some of the rare and exotic herbs he picks himself for me to "taste", saying that these herbs are not encountered in a hundred years, and they are priceless treasures for people who practice martial arts, and the reason why I practice faster than ordinary people is that I think it has something to do with the old man's medicinal materials.

The old man's life is very poor, my family's life is quite solid, my father runs an antique shop and is the patriarch of the village, so I take the initiative to help the old man every time, and the old man is also silently remembered for my goodness.

As the days go by, the relationship with the old man is getting better and better, and we have become veritable friends who have forgotten the year.

I don't dare to say that the old man's medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and it is also a five-body body that I, who have read countless medical books, admire and admire. According to the old man, there is no poison in the world that he can't detoxify, and once drank Heding red in front of me, and then he was unharmed, which shocked me very much.

Everyone knows that Heding Red is a highly poisonous thing, and even the gods are helpless if they drink it, but the old man in front of him has nothing to do. The old man would often say that things like Hedinghong were pediatric to him.

Unconsciously I have come to this familiar earthen platform, or the dim candlelight, or the stone table, looking at the chessboard on the stone table, I really miss the days of playing chess with the old man carefree, the old man's chess skills are really difficult to meet opponents, even I, a person who thinks I am familiar with all the chess games in the world, has not won the old man once, I really don't know what the old man's chess skills have reached.

The old man often said, when you don't come, I will go down to myself and myself, a person's biggest enemy is not others but himself, if you can defeat yourself, then you will be invincible, everything! Playing chess with the old man has also made my chess skills more and more sophisticated, although not as good as the old man, but it has been a great improvement compared to the previous time on paper.

The old man often boasted and said: "The so-called chess saints and chess masters in the world today are not in my eyes at all, they are not as good as you, a fledgling boy!"

Thinking that Mencius in Jiangnan was known as "Jiangnan has not met opponents for ten years", and put the endgame in the West Lake Pavilion in Hangzhou for half a year, writing a notice saying that if he wins, he will give away his own restaurant, and finally I will die within seven steps, which is really happy, but unfortunately the old man I am not good at business and do not want his restaurant to only charge ten taels of silver as a coil and leave! ”

Every time the old man talks about these past events of the rivers and lakes, I listen to them with relish, because I like the rivers and lakes in my bones, and I like the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes even more. The old man could see my thoughts, and often warned me: "The rivers and lakes are sinister, you are not deeply involved in the world, you don't know what is powerful, you must be more careful when you go out in the future, and you must not be careless!" "Yes, I have only been to Wubao County since I was a child, and I have never been to other places, let alone the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are so mysterious and strange to me!

"Is Tiancheng coming?"

The old man heard my footsteps in the house and asked.

"Yes, old man, I've come to see you!"

"Come in!"

The old man said weakly.

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over me.

I followed the sound of pushing the door in, and the old man was lying on his dilapidated wooden bed, his face pale, and I was a little surprised to see this!

I asked a little nervously, "What's wrong with you, old man?" ”

This is the first time I've seen an old man sick, and for a doctor, it's a very humiliating thing to be sick, let alone a master of medical skills.

The old man saw my concerns and said slightly: "Old man, I'm not sick, I'm just poisoned!" ”

I'm even more confused when I say this, the old man is a well-known detoxification saint, what powerful poison can make him so unbearable? What the hell is going on?

The old man continued: "Tiancheng, don't worry, listen to me slowly, you are now an adult, we are as close as grandchildren, some things have been in my heart for decades, it's time to find someone to talk to!" You go and move a stool and sit on the edge of my bed. ”

I walked over and moved a wooden chair and sat down, and the old man sighed and said, "Speaking of this, we have to start from forty years ago. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I had the privilege of following a hermit god at that time to heal a little bit of medicine, and I thought I was very great, and I didn't care about anyone. At that time, the master accepted three disciples of Guan, my senior brother is an upright person, his medical skills are amazing, and he is taking the so-called right path of medical skills in the world, known as "living immortals", since he parted thirty years ago, and now I don't know where he is! ”

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes showed a little sadness, and it could be seen that the old man respected his senior brother very much.

The old man straightened out his emotions and continued: "I am the second in line, and I like to get some so-called side doors, earthworks and remedies, good at detoxification, and are known as "immortal Weng". I also have a junior brother, he is the same as me, extremely talented, and also likes to get some sideways medical skills, but he is good at the treatment of poison against poison, and he is even more extreme in practicing poison, it is no exaggeration to say that almost half of the poison in the world today is refined by him, known as "Lord Yama".

You may think that the third junior brother is a bad person, specializing in refining poison and harming people, but in fact, things in the world are so wonderful, and you also know that many diseases need to be poisoned by poison to be cured.

After Da Weng finished talking about this, I was shocked, I didn't expect the old man to have such a mysterious past, and the curiosity in my heart became even more overflowing, I don't know what the old man said next will be?
