Chapter 20: Heartbeat
When Xie Xiaoman kicked out this kick, he directly blessed a wind charm behind his foot.
Junior high school physics tells us that impulse is equal to mass multiplied by velocity, so when the weight of Xie Xiaoman's legs and feet cannot be changed, the speed increase brought by the wind charm can make the impulse a little huge.
If the impulse is large, the pain felt by the other party is a little stronger.
Xu Zhefeng did feel a little painful. This pain is not only heard in the body, but also in the ears.
With a crisp click, Xu Zhefeng's knee was kicked and cracked cleanly.
The autumn wind comes to the west.
The two birds flew by silently, and Zhao Ming, who was lying on the ground and had just been stopped by a hemostatic charm, breathed a sigh of relief, saw this scene in front of him, and his eyes were about to pop out.
One doesn't ask clearly, and he shoots indiscriminately, ah no, it's a kick. The other is not easy to explain, the other party kicks and dodges, so resist like this!
Both of these people seem to have some problems.
Zhao Ming just listened to the sound of the kneecap shattering, and his face turned a little pale.
thought that with this sound, Xu Zhefeng would not be able to support it and knelt on one knee.
But I didn't expect that Brother Feng, who was as tough as Feng, was still standing there! I haven't even changed my posture!
Looking closely, it turned out that Xu Zhefeng only shifted the center of gravity of his body slightly, and the weight of his whole body was supported on his right leg, which was not injured.
"The reason why I know them is because I also worked as a gangster when I was young, and I have a reputation in the Tao, so they call me Brother Feng." Xu Zhefeng opened his mouth to explain, without too much expression on his face. "The reason why I came was to return the book. The book has been served, and it is in the middle of the Dan room. I don't know if it's supposed to be called that. The room for alchemy should be called the Dan room, right?
"This guy with a knife wound is called Zhao Ming, and he did come to cause trouble, but I was not involved. You can ask Sister Xianglan about this.
"The reason why I used a hemostatic charm for Zhao Ming was because he stabbed himself in order to make amends. I know. If a dead body appears in front of your house, it is not a big deal for you, but in your humble opinion. It seems that more is better than less?
"As for this hemostatic talisman, I took it out and used it at the suggestion of the young man in the Dan room. If you're still not convinced, ask the teenager. ”
Probably because he said too much in one breath. Xu Zhefeng's face also began to turn pale. Breathing is slightly chaotic.
Xie Xiaoman was speechless for a long time, and behind her, two ox carts had already arrived. The coachmen have also seen battles in Lanyue Tower, occasionally encountered people making trouble, and also acted as thugs and other things. At this time, when I saw the appearance of Zhao Ming and the others, how could I not see that they were gangsters who were causing trouble everywhere?
Such a thug dared to go to Immortal Master Xie's mansion to cause trouble? Is this impatient life?
Both drivers were indignant and jumped out of the car swearing. Those who rolled up their arms and sleeves were going to fight with Xu Zhefeng.
Why fight Xu Zhefeng?
The reason is simple, because of the thugs on the ground today. Only Xu Zhefeng was left standing.
Xie Xiaoman stretched out his hand to stop the coachmen's behavior, turned back to look at him, thinking about what he said before, and finally opened his mouth for a while: "You said that you also worked as a gangster when you were young?" You don't look big right now, do you? ”
When Xu Zhefeng heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
The autumn wind came from the west, and two birds fluttered their wings and passed by silently.
……
……
"I confess, the reason why I stood there and let you kick it was because I had a little intention of touching porcelain."
This night, in the already small courtyard, there was one more guest.
Xu Zhefeng was lying on the bed, his left leg was wrapped like a scarecrow, and he was hoisted high.
"I guessed it." Xie Xiaoman looked at him and scratched his head, "But I didn't ask clearly, I kicked people directly, I really shouldn't." So, whether I deliberately didn't dodge it or not, I should apologize. ”
Xu Zhefeng was speechless for a while, in his life, his status was low, and there were only a handful of people who were humble to him.
"Actually, I know that you want to learn the Dao, and I'm afraid that I won't teach it, so you put so much effort into it from beginning to end. Actually, this thing is really unnecessary, and when I was studying cultivation, I didn't tell it, so I wasn't allowed to spread it. Xie Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and went to fiddle with the new furniture in the house—two large boxes.
Xu Zhefeng was a little curious about what was in the box, although he did not participate in the moving of the box because of his injury, but judging from the actions of the two coachmen, it must be a very heavy thing.
What is it that weighs so much? Xu Zhefeng's heart was a little faintly excited, in his opinion, it must be some kind of magic weapon for cultivation.
The box was placed in the Dan room, and Xu Zhefeng was naturally arranged here.
There are only three rooms in the small courtyard, one bedroom, one room, and the other side room was built into a Dan room by Xie Xiaoman.
Originally, there were only two people, her and Xiaobai, and the yard could be called spacious, but now, ......
Seeing Xu Zhefeng lying on the bed where he usually rested, Xie Xiaoman was a little helpless.
But what to do? It's true that he kicked him out of arms, and before he recovers from his injuries, you can't let him walk home like this, right?
Even if you hire a car to take him back, the road will inevitably be bumpy, and if it makes his injuries worse, isn't it still your responsibility?
Xie Xiaoman thought about it and had no choice for a while, so he had to ask the coachman to run to Xu Zhefeng's house and tell Xu Zhefeng's mother that her son had an assignment to go out and settle him here temporarily.
As for the guards, they naturally asked someone to take leave.
"Since I'm here and one leg is lame again, let's just give it a try at this time and see if I can fall into meditation." Xie Xiaoman rubbed his nose, "Actually, I don't know much about cultivation, especially meditation. I was inexplicable, I would first go into meditation and then I would understand what the practice was. So, I may not be able to help you in this matter. ”
Xu Zhefeng's eyes were dark: "I understand, it's all written in that book." Whether or not they can enter meditation is the watershed between monks and mortals. Some people have an epiphany overnight, some people try for decades and still can't enter meditation, but once they are able to enter meditation, they are even stepping into the practice! ”
"That's right." Xie Xiaoman nodded and opened a box casually.
Xu Zhefeng looked at the random action, only to feel that his eyes were suddenly dark, and then bright, and when he went to look again, the box had been opened, and what was contained in it was not what he guessed, but a whole box of copper coins!
Xu Zhefeng felt that he was dazzled, perhaps because his right leg, which had been fixed for a long time, was obstructing his vision. So he rubbed his eyes to see, repeating this action three times, and the scene in front of him still did not change.
As for Xie Xiaoman, she seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little song from nowhere, taking out a handful of copper coins from the box and putting them in the money bag.
So, Xu Zhefeng fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Obviously feeling that there was something wrong with the aura behind him, Xie Xiaoman stopped humming "ten men and seven stupid" in his nose and asked curiously.
Xu Zhefeng's face was a little ugly, but it was not pale after being injured, but faintly blackened.
"I originally thought ......" Xu Zhefeng's voice was slightly hoarse, "That's it, it doesn't matter, I, Xu Zhefeng, am not a good person in the first place." What do you do for a living? Murder or arson? No, with such cultivation on the body, it is probably for the dignitaries to do those trivial things that are easy to dirty their hands, right? Scold! I've got a lot of experience in this kind of thing, and I can help you. ”
Xie Xiaoman blinked: "What are you talking about?" ”
"You don't have to hide it from me. This money is earned by a trip, otherwise the other party would not have sent it together. In this world, there are not many people who can make so much money in one trip, and I happen to know a few. It's just that I didn't expect that you little girl would do such a bloody thing. ”
"Oh, see, you think I'm a spy or something?" Xie Xiaoman laughed, "I don't know what you're thinking about every day." Let me tell you, this is what I helped Lanyuelou exorcise ghosts during the day, and Sister An Zi gave it to me. ”
Xu Zhefeng digested the meaning of the sentence for a while, and couldn't believe his ears for a while: "Lanyue Tower? That's not Fireworks Alley......"
"yes." Xie Xiaoman shrugged, "I'm just going to the Qinglou to help exorcise ghosts." If it weren't for them, who would have come up with so much money at once! That's a big deal! ”
"You, you...... You're a woman, how do you get into that kind of place! ”
"Why can't you go in? I've been there several times. ”
Xu Zhefeng was choked enough, and looked at Xie Xiaoman blankly for a long time, and did not pop out another word.
"Alright." Xie Xiaoman packed up his things and yawned, "You rest here obediently, don't move your legs, if the bones are misaligned, be careful that I break them again and reconnect them, and you will be able to bear it then." I'm going to sleep over there, and if something comes to me, please yell at me! ”
Xie Xiaoman walked out of the door, suddenly remembered something, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the roof: "The one above is just a rabbit essence, called Xiaobai, it usually comes out at night to absorb the moonlight, and it will sleep in this house during the day." Well, you can't meditate yet, but it doesn't matter. If you have the accumulation of cultivation in the future, don't eat the carrots it gives you, otherwise the cultivation will be sucked away by it! Well, so be it! Good night! ”
The door was closed, Xu Zhefeng looked at the half-old house, looked at the mottled alchemy furnace in front of him, and felt calm.
The candlelight danced slightly, causing the huge shadow of the alchemy furnace to shake constantly, forming a swaggering mark on the earthen wall.
On top of the earthen wall, there is a beam, which is where I first saw Xiaobai.
Now, now, the man who was covered in the glow of the moon was sitting on the roof above him, absorbing the drips of moonlight.
No wonder, even every word it utters has the smell of moonlight.
Xu Zhefeng thought like this, and his heart was pounding. (To be continued......)
