"This is Zheng Banqiao's "Youlan Bamboo and Stone Map"?"

When Qin Feng's eyes swept over the painting hanging on the desk, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, almost pasting his face on the painting.

"That's right, it's Zheng Banqiao's "Youlan Bamboo and Stone Map", Lao Xia, where did you get this treasure from?"

After observing for a long time, Qin Feng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, this painting outlined the abrupt mountain stone with a simple brushstroke, and slightly crumpled with a small axe at the fold of the entire hard and thin stone, and the state of the mountain suddenly appeared.

The bamboo poles on the painting are thin and thin, but thin but not weak, the bamboo leaves are few and fat, and there is no lack of verdant and rich; A pole of bamboo stands on the top of the sky, and other bamboos are staggered and mixed, echoing the virtual and real, the shade, the high and low, and the far and near.

Zheng Banqiao is almost every painting must be inscribed, the calligraphy on this painting is unique, swaying freely, Han Mo vigorous, Qin Feng followed his father to practice calligraphy when he was five years old, even if there are no conditions in recent years, but you can also see a good or bad.

"Do you know Zheng Banqiao?" Old man Xia, who was originally sitting on the Taishi chair, was a little unable to sit still, he originally just thought that Qin Feng had a good talent, but now it seems that he has simply picked up a treasure.

Qin Feng turned around and said honestly, "I'...... I've heard people mention it, and I've seen this painting, but it's in the album, is your picture real or fake? ”

Old man Liu was born in a scholarly family, and can be called an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and the ancient literati he admires the most is Zheng Banqiao, who writes "rarely confused" with one hand.

Out of his own preference, when the old man discussed calligraphy and painting to Qin Feng, he naturally favored Zheng Banqiao, and the album Qin Feng said was an album of Zheng Banqiao's complete works of calligraphy and painting published on Taiwan Island.

"Nonsense, what Lao Tzu hangs, can it be fake?"

Old Man Xia seemed to be insulted, and his eyes widened again, "What is this painting?" I think it was "Five Cows in the Tang Dynasty" and "Qingming Riverside Picture", Lao Tzu played casually, this painting is a fart! ”

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to suddenly think of something, calmed down, waved his hand, and said with a self-deprecating face: "What are you talking about, boy, I won't go around in circles with you anymore, I want to accept you as an apprentice to pass on my mantle, you apprentice, right?" ”

As he spoke, Old Man Xia sat up straight, his face became serious, and around him, there seemed to be an indescribable pressure, where was there still a little bit of the old farmer before.

"Lao Xia, I don't learn your stuff, if I do what you do, the master will have no face."

Qin Feng shook his head, although he had not heard his parents mention the matter of his grandparents in his memory, but Qin Feng knew that his parents were teachers, and it must be good to go up to the family background, if he became a thief, then Qin Feng really had no shame to see his "dead" parents.

The old man looked at Qin Feng playfully, and asked, "My line, which line am I?" ”

"Aren't you a fitter?" Qin Feng stretched out two fingers and made a gesture of stealing a wallet in his pocket, with a look of disdain on his face.

From the detention center to the correctional center, Qin Feng has been locked up for several months, and in these two places, there are two kinds of prisoners who are most despised.

One is rape, almost all the prisoners who come in for this crime have to be beaten violently first, and their status in prison is extremely low, let alone prisoners, even the discipline has a bad face for them.

And one is the thief, who is also a rat crossing the street...... Everyone shouted and beaten, of course, those famous thieves in the early years were not in this ranks, and those were already bigwigs with status in the rivers and lakes.

"Fart, knowing how to do and doing are two different things, Lao Tzu is also a Baylor ......"

Old Man Xia seemed to realize that he had slipped his mouth, so he sighed at the moment and said, "What I want to teach you includes the skills of the entire Eight Elements outside the rivers and lakes, and is not limited to stealing ......

And then again, the thief of the hook is punished, the thief of the country, the thief is not all useless, there was no empty master of the thief back then, then Wu Zetian is afraid that he will not be able to sit still! ”

"You...... What are you talking about? I don't understand! ”

Although Qin Feng was smart, he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid in the end, what kind of eight elements outside the rivers and lakes, what kind of theft, it actually involved Wu Zetian, which made him suddenly confused when he heard it.

"Okay, I'll tell you what the Outer Eight Elements are, and those who know these things now...... Not much. ”

The old man stood up, picked up the kettle boiling on the stove behind the door, made himself a pot of tea, took out his long cigarette stick, and filled a bag of cigarettes, and then said: "The Outer Eight Elements, outside the three hundred and sixty lines in ancient times, are not among the regular businessmen, and do not belong to the Workers, Peasants, Soldiers, Scholars, and Merchants, but where there are people, there are Outer Eight Elements......

Old man Xia didn't speak loudly, but what he said was something that Qin Feng had never heard of, and no one expected that on such a quiet spring morning, a young man would be brought into the rivers and lakes.

The so-called eight lines outside the rivers and lakes are divided into eight kinds of industries: golden points, beggars, ringing horses, thieves and thieves, inverted buckets, walking mountains, leading fires, and water mining.

The eight lines have a collective name, called "Five Elements and Three Families", the golden point is a fortune-telling line, the ringing horse is a roadblock robbery line, the inverted bucket is a tomb robbery line, the mountain is a deception, the fire is a Gu technique, and the water collection is an official prostitute.

It seems that there are only eight trades, but in fact, these eight doors include almost all the side doors on the rivers and lakes, and the schools of the rivers and lakes from ancient times to the present are almost inseparable from them.

Among the eight outer lines, the largest and has always been prosperous is naturally the theft of the door, and many transactions without capital in the world can be classified as theft.

Whether it is a snitch and a rat who walks through thousands of households, or a ringing horse who occupies one side and sets up a flag. Even the alchemists who dig graves in the wilderness and dig graves are considered to be door thieves.

And the most mysterious in the outer eight elements is the thousand gates, ancient legends, the thousand doors are the deduction of the gossip of the ancestor Fu Xi set up, the creation of the three skills of the piety of the Fu Xi, originally to save the suffering for the purpose of the world, but by people into a means of deceit.

Thousand...... It can also be called deception, including 'collusion', 'sexual deception', 'fraud', 'abduction', 'deception', 'treachery', 'pretending to deceive', deception, and so on.

More than half a century ago, in Dashang-Beach, deception was most prevalent, and many newcomers were often sold and helped to pay for money, creating a deformed and prosperous society.

In addition to the thousands of doors, such as the red handkerchief that makes a living from acting, the god door that pretends to be a ghost, and the door of the wooden ox and the horse, have all gradually declined.

There are only two other sects, which are still thriving, and the first one is, of course, the Orchid Gate.

Although it is spurned, no matter how the previous imperial court or the modern government suppressed, no matter what the world evaluates, the orchid industry has been thriving.

As for Zuihou, a sect that still exists in the rivers and lakes, it is a little far away from the lives of ordinary people, but it is the bloodiest and so far the most international life-seeking sect.

The founders of the Suolifemen are Zhuzhu and Yaoli, these two famous assassins who were earlier than Jing Ke, and have been revered as their ancestors for thousands of years.

But the concept of exchanging life for money was not before, whether it was Zhuzhu, Yaoli, Jing Ke, or Nameless, Bai Ren, these famous assassins in history, all in line with the belief of serving the people and the world, to do his great cause knowing that "the strong man is gone and will not return".

The situation of asking for one's life and asking for one's life has evolved into taking people's money and asking for people's lives, which is entirely due to the fact that in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to kill the eight foreign elements.

The most famous person in the life-seeking sect in modern times, everyone is also familiar with it, that is, Wang Yaqiao of Dashang-Hai, and only he can make Du Yuesheng make amends for his sins back then, and let that Mr. Jiang stay awake at night.

"Lao Xia, why are you telling me this?"

When he heard Old Man Xia talk about this, Qin Feng suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's not before liberation, what you said is long gone, and what does this have to do with me?" ”

"You kid listen to me!"

Old man Xia, who was talking energetically, glared at Qin Feng angrily, and then said: "The outer eight gates originally went their own way, but when Zhu Yuanzhang won the world in the Ming Dynasty, things changed......

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, he once entered the monk's door and also served as a ringing horse, he knew the danger of the people in the rivers and lakes to the rule of the imperial court, so after becoming the emperor, he wantonly eradicated the eight gates.

The butcher's knife was raised on the head, and these people in the rivers and lakes naturally refused to poke their necks, but although they each had their own skills, a plate of loose sand could not withstand the imperial army after all, and after a killing, the outer eight gates suffered heavy casualties!

Later, a master came out of Qianmen, integrated the outer eight gates, turned from light to dark, and spent the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty did he ease up.

In order to thank this master, the outer eight doors jointly recommended him as the head of the door, and since then, the outer eight doors have set up a main door, which is dedicated to obeying the orders of the door master, and as long as the door master orders, each door has to be respected, and the violators will be punished......

Wu Liuqi, an iron beggar in the early Qing Dynasty, was the master of the Outer Eight Gates, but since Wu Liuqi, the main gate has withered, and there has been no strong character.

By the Qianlong period, the main gate had already existed in name only, and each gate had returned to the situation before the Ming Dynasty, but it was ...... But the inheritance has been continued, and it has not been broken! ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Xia closed his mouth, and a pair of eyes were fixed on Qin Feng, he believed that with Qin Feng's intelligence, he should be able to hear what he wanted to express in his words.
