The area around Yongfangtang is an open place, a place of fierce spirits in the market, and when no one is there in the middle of the night, ordinary people will not come to wander casually, but people like You Fang may not be able to say. If someone accidentally saw him and Zhang Liubing that night, maybe they would think that they had seen a ghost, and there would be one more ghost story about Yongfangtang, and two more ghosts.

In a place like Dafan, there may be people who practice secret methods from time to time, and over the years, it is definitely not only You Fang and Zhang Liubing who have refined their spiritual sense, but also more than one "ghost". Although the place is "good", it is not private enough, and you can not plan to go again, at least you will not practice alone in the middle of the night, and it will not be good if you meet someone to make trouble.

In modern society, on the surface, it seems that there are no traces of traditional sects and secret families, but the heritage of its inheritance cannot be underestimated.

Zhang Xi's family is not as good as the entire Songhe Valley Xiang family, but it is much easier for his son to inherit the secret method than ordinary people. No matter how good You Fang's surname is, if he hadn't met Liu Li, I'm afraid he would still be ignorant and confused, and it would be difficult to say whether he could get started. But You Fang also has its own heritage, if it weren't for the "edification" of the original eight gates of the Mo family, where would you be a little wanderer in the rivers and lakes today?

The influence of the environment on people is too important, and this is the feng shui of the world.

The last room in the house where You Fang lives has not been rented out, but the landlord Lin Yin no longer cares. The consumption in Guangzhou is not low, but for ordinary people, if there is no housing mortgage, children go to school and other burdens, 1,070 per month is enough for one person to live, not to mention that You Fang and Tu Su both paid a year's rent at a time.

Lin Yin has devoted all his energy to finding Li Qiuping's "cause", posting on the Internet to find people, posting advertisements for dried tofu in the evening newspaper, and distributing leaflets with Li Qiuping's portrait in front of major shopping malls and supermarkets with a lot of people. She also went to the middle school where she worked three years ago, which is also the place where Li Qiuping donated as an alumnus, hoping that the school will mobilize the strength of alumni from all walks of life to help find Li Qiuping.

Almost all of her former colleagues gave her strange looks. In the eyes of outsiders, this woman is just a resentful woman who is young and beautiful, uneasy about her duties as a middle school teacher, and has followed a big money, and has been kept for three years and has had enough. The principal asked her very respectfully: "Xiaolin, in what capacity are you doing this?" Very tactfully and clearly rejected her request.

Yes, Lin Yin and Li Qiuping have no legal relationship, and now they are two unrelated people, and it is her own business to find someone in private, but in what capacity and for what reason did she go to the school to ask for help, and find the former supporter to continue to support her? The school will never help with this. The principal spoke politely, but the other teachers' comments and ridicule were very unpleasant, which can't be blamed on others for not being self-contained, it was Lin Yin who brought it on himself.

Lin Yin was so sad that she knew that she didn't give up, and a few times, she even sent leaflets to the gate of Sun Yat-sen University. You Fang regretted seeing this situation, she shouldn't have paid all the rent for a year, of course Lin Yin needed to spend money to find someone like this, and it was a lot of accumulation, and the average monthly rent was not enough for her to spend, what should she do if she spent it? No matter what you do, you should always have a plan for your life.

You Fang didn't care much about this matter, but just told Lin Yin that no matter who claimed to have news of Li Qiuping, he must be notified first, and then contact the other party, and emphasized that this was specially explained by Officer Xie, and Lin Yin agreed very obediently.

Tu Su was very sympathetic to Lin Yin's plight, and one day after school, he saw Lin Yin handing out leaflets outside the school gate, and took the initiative to help her distribute them together, but it was already late when she went home. Seeing You Fang sitting in the restaurant waiting for her, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother You Fang, are you already hungry?" Today, I saw Sister Lin Yin handing out flyers at the school gate, and she had such a big stack in her hand, and she couldn't finish it when it was dark, so I helped her distribute it together, so I came back late. Don't worry, I'll cook right away. ”

In saying this, he simply treats You Fang as a kitten and puppy waiting to be fed. You Fang smiled and got up to stop her: "How can I eat your food every day, you are very tired at such a late hour, I invite you, go and wash your face and hands, let's go downstairs to eat." ”

Tu Su asked with a smile: "Are you going to the nightclub again?" ”

You Fang nodded: "Yes, it's a nightclub." ”

……

The nightclub they are talking about is not a sound entertainment venue, but a food stall not far from the door of the community. This is a small restaurant, during the day to do business in the store, after dark move a few tables to the open space outside the door, light the lamp, is the common food stalls, sit here to eat cooler.

This place in Guangzhou is not too cold even in winter, and this kind of food stall can be seen on some small streets all year round, and it is very convenient to use a folding steel frame to pay a shed on a rainy day. There are many people in the city who leave work late or go to bed late, there are many people who come and go for supper, and the food stalls on the street are cheap until the second half of the night.

Open stalls near the living area, most of the customers are nearby residents or migrant workers from surrounding units, come to the food stalls after night work or before going to bed, hot pot rice wine in cold weather, cold beer in hot weather, side dishes with boiled peanuts and salted edamame, a little extravagant can be a dish of brine goose wings or two small stir-fried, it is also a rare life enjoyment in the day.

Every night, you can always see many familiar faces at this food stall, smiling and nodding to each other to say hello, but most of them can't be named. After a long time, regular customers describe this place as "always meeting every day and night", referred to as "nightclub".

You Fang rarely goes at night, and if you don't have classes in Kang Yuen, you often go to this food stall to eat at noon, and you are already very familiar. The food here is affordable, and even more rare is clean and refreshing, and business is always good. The owner of the hotel is a native of Ningxia, named Song Yang, about thirty-five or six years old, a burly man with a stubble beard, a strong body, a big waist and a round waist, but only slightly fat. Boss Song's voice is loud and full of energy, but his temper is quite good, and he always laughs.

There will always be some trouble when opening a restaurant, occasionally there are gangsters who come to the door to make trouble or don't pay for dinner, this Song Dahan, who usually carries a gas tank in one hand and is as easy as carrying a chicken, has never touched anyone.

The proprietress is about in her early thirties, with a long petite Peugeot, and her name is quite elegant, called Feng Xian Shi. But Feng Xianshi's temper is very different from that of her husband, she is very hot, when she scolds people, she puts one hand in her waist and the other points at people, and she scolds for half an hour without repeating it, and her voice is crisp and not dumb, which is quite difficult to provoke.

When acquaintances discussed in private, they all felt that the contrast between the husband and wife was too great. Boss Song is so blessed to marry a beautiful wife, but he is probably quite angry at home, and a strong man is so temperamental. But You Fang's feeling was different, the first time he saw this Boss Song, he found that the joints of the ten fingers of this person's hands were a little abnormal.

Although it is very inconspicuous, the appearance of this characteristic in ordinary people must be a symptom of rheumatoid disease, and the hands are not able to do heavy work at all. And Boss Song, Kong Wu, seems to have inexhaustible strength, which can only mean one thing, he has practiced the iron sand palm of the Northern School.

This is a kind of hard work that is quite difficult at the beginning and extremely lethal after practice. Outside kung fu also has internal refining methods when it reaches the advanced realm, and Boss Song has no other abnormalities to detect except for the slight characteristics of his finger joints, which shows that his foreign kung fu has reached the level of essence and introverted. Even if you don't cross the threshold equivalent to the internal kung fu "touch and respond", it is not far away, and he is definitely a master.

Then, Boss Song's good temper is not difficult to understand. Whether it is taught by the master or practiced by the disciple, there are three basic conditions: one is a good physique and strong bones, the second is that the surname is stoic and can persist in enduring hardships, and the third is that he has a good temper. Although the third condition has little to do with the practice, it is of the most important significance to the practitioner himself, and this kind of cultivation does not necessarily lie in the level of education, but in a kind of magnanimity and open-mindedness.

If you are a narrow-minded person who is prone to trouble, you can teach him the profound and hard kung fu that can slap a person to death, unless he has a grudge and wants to harm him or others, and at the same time cause trouble for himself. In the past, when disciples caused trouble outside and caused death or injury, they would often implicate their teachers and disciples, and of course their family members would also be affected.

The so-called "martial virtue" in the tradition is not an abstract and good-sounding emptiness, but a very real cultivation for martial artists and the needs of ordinary life. Martial arts are only used to defend oneself at critical moments, and to play a role when something must be done, and cannot be used to control qi in peacetime.

You Fang's eyes were poisonous, and he saw Boss Song's "bottom line", but he didn't break it. The iron sand palm can't be eaten, and you have to have a living to do with your skills, and people don't want to say it, and it's a taboo for others to break it. You Fang likes to eat at this food stall very much, and when he sees Boss Song, he thinks of himself hiding in the rivers and lakes, which is very interesting.

……

During the period since "living together", Tu Su has been late to go home several times, and You Fang invited her out to eat. At first, the little girl was very embarrassed, and You Fang smiled and persuaded: "After all, I have a job and income, and I rub your student's food every day, I am embarrassed, why are you embarrassed?" It's not a very expensive hotel, it's a nightclub outside the community, and it's free of charge. ”

Tu Su was surprised: "Nightclub? ”

You Fang said straightforwardly: "It's not that kind of nightclub, you can know if you come with me." ”

When Tu Su arrived at the place, he realized that the so-called nightclub was this street food stall, and later You Fang invited her twice, and as soon as she said that she would go out to eat today, Tu Su immediately smiled and asked if it was a "nightclub". The weather was a bit muggy, and the two of them came to the food stall without entering the store, so they sat down at the table outside, feeling cool and comfortable with the evening breeze, and eating here itself is also a kind of leisure.

While eating and chatting, they talked about helping Lin Yin distribute flyers today, and You Fang said tentatively: "Tu Su, you are not really helping her today, in fact, for Lin Yin, it is better to persuade her to take the rest of the flyers back and send them the next day." ”

"Why?" Tu Su blinked, and his long eyelashes were very cute.

You Fang began to calculate accounts for her, how much does it cost to print such an A4 paper leaflet with a photo, how much does it cost to publish a small piece of missing person advertisement in the evening newspaper, how much does it cost Lin Yin to maintain the simplest life alone, and finally said: "Her monthly rent income is not enough for expenses at all, and when the money in her hand is spent, she will be in trouble." She only cared about looking for Li Qiuping, but forgot how to plan her life. ”

Tu Su also showed a sad face when he heard this: "I really haven't thought about this, I just think Sister Lin Yin is strange and pitiful, and I want to help her but I don't know how to help." But now it is impossible to persuade her not to find someone, Brother You Fang, what good way do you have? ”

You Fang: "I was just about to ask you for a favor, and I had the opportunity to persuade Lin Yin, not to persuade her not to find someone, but to persuade her to plan things well and be able to persist in finding them." You can say to her, what if you can find someone in the sixth month and be exhausted in the fifth month? She should be able to listen. ”

Tu Su: "Brother You Fang said it so clearly, why didn't he go?" ”

You Fang smiled: "I'm a young man, go to a single woman to discuss the matter of living at home, there are many things that are inconvenient to say, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings." You're different, such a cute little sister, you should talk to your sister. ”

Tu Su nodded again and again: "What you said makes sense, I'll go talk to Sister Lin Yin in the next few days." Then he frowned and said, "We have already paid all the rent for one year, and Sister Lin Yin still has a house that has not been rented out." I discussed with her if I could change it to a monthly rent, so that even if she couldn't control herself, she would still have a minimum living guarantee every month. ”

You Fang praised: "You think more thoughtfully than me, just try it." …… Hurry up and eat, the dishes are cold. ”

You Fang knows very well that he can't stop Lin Yin from looking for the crazy fox now, and let Tu Su persuade her, it is nothing more than hoping that Lin Yin can plan her life in the absence of the crazy fox while looking for it, and gradually return to normal from paranoia, as long as she does this step, the process of finding the wild fox is the process of finding herself again.

If Lin Yin wants to really find herself, it has nothing to do with whether she wants to find a crazy fox or not. Either she herself is truly freed from her current state, or another person appears in her life to take the place of Fox. The first scenario is certainly good, and it is better if both situations occur. As for You Fang, he is not interested in becoming the "other person".

As soon as he thought of this, he listened to Tu Su say coldly: "Brother You Fang really cares about people, and if he wants to help someone, he knows how to help." I also think that the person Sister Lin Yin is looking for can't be found, and everyone else knows very well, but she doesn't want to understand. In fact, Sister Lin Yin's best destination is to meet a good man like Brother You Fang again, who can really be good to her. ”

This little girl is very smart, the more things she experiences, the more things she understands. You Fang was swallowing a mouthful of food, and almost choked when he heard the words, and only replied after taking a sip of water: "I hope I am no longer a man like Li Qiuping, I wish her good luck!" …… Don't send me a good guy card, I'm most afraid of this. ”

Tu Su said playfully: "I didn't say that you are a good person, I only said that you are a good man who cares about people, aren't you a man?" ”

You Fang didn't have a temper at all, and nodded: "Yes, of course!" As she spoke, her eyes slipped from her pretty face and looked at the soft curves under her shirt on her chest, this girl is well developed, so seductive! Although his eyes quickly left, he secretly cursed himself as a hooligan in his heart, but he still inevitably had a reverie.

On the way back after eating, the evening breeze blew Tu Su's hair, and she vaguely smelled the unique quiet aura of a girl exuding from her. Alas, let's go and practice swords! Why do you train so hard every day in the barracks, in addition to preparing for war, isn't it just to make a group of big men have no time to think nonsense.

……

With the experience in front of Yongfangtang, You Fang personally realized why Liu Li put forward the following requirements for the place of sword training in the secret book - four high walls, no ghosts and gods.

Such a place is rare in Guangzhou, but as long as you pay attention, you can always find it. You Fang found an agricultural machinery factory in a remote place on the outskirts of the city. The factory was shut down a long time ago, but the factory has been left here without treatment, and the factory owner has planned to wait for the urban development to expand to this area, and then become the best nail household. It is a pity that in recent years, the planning of the Guangzhou municipal axe has not involved this remote place, and the factory owner has not yet ushered in the planned fierce confrontation of the demolition.

An old man was hired in the front door of the factory, and he looked at the factory building that was already empty, and there were no windows left, and there was no one in the backyard far from the front door through the factory, not even a big wolf dog. The courtyard is very large, the site is very level, the courtyard wall is very high, and the top is still stuck with broken glass and wrapped in barbed wire that is about to rust and decay.

This is a place that meets the requirements, the earth environment is not bad, but the yin and evil qi is a little heavier, after all, no one has been active for several years, but it is suitable for You Fang to practice swords.

You Fang has been sneaking into the backyard of this agricultural machinery factory for several days, cleaning up the piles of tattered debris, pulling out the wild grass and ramming the site, and bringing a small table, a leisure chair, and a large leisure sun umbrella, just like the one seen on the front platform of Baiyun Villa. You can rest when you are tired, and you are not afraid of getting drenched on rainy days, and you are very well prepared.

Last time, Qin Yu's evil aura was almost uncontrollable, and when he came back to his senses, You Fang also understood that he had not used the true power of this blade at all before. It was only after the spiritual consciousness was transformed that the sword could be fully activated, but the evil qi that Qin Yu had accumulated over the centuries was too heavy, and You Fang was like a three-year-old child rotating a heavy sledgehammer, which was very difficult to control.

This shows that his divine sense is not strong enough, and it is far from enough to give Qin Yu a new spiritual surname through sword raising. Sword practice is the process of exercising You Fang's divine sense, and at the same time, he is also continuing to cultivate Qin Yu's spiritual surname, and people practice with the sword.

On the night when he finished eating with Tu Su in the "nightclub", You Fang rushed to the place where he practiced swords, took out Qin Yu and rubbed it in his hand, and said to himself: "Qin Yu, Qin Yu, in the future, this will be you and my nightclub." ”
