Chapter 17 Fair Trade Counts as Good

Chen Mu never expected that when he woke up, the old way was gone, and the shirt and book in his arms were gone!

These things can be said to be all he has, and they matter, where is it easy to lose!

Chen Mudeng jumped up, looked around, the room was empty, and ran out of the monk's room, which was relieved.

The morning light was like thousands of golden threads hanging down from the heavenly palace, shrouding the body of Lao Dao, who was only wearing a Taoist robe with a dark flying crane pattern, and was sitting in the courtyard, with a shirt and a red slip on the stone table in front of him.

Lao Dao pulled out a long knife, pointed like a sword, and was gently stroking the blade, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling, and as if listening to the blade telling the bloody things of the past.

Chen Mu walked forward, but his mood was very complicated.

He was sure that this old man had an unclear relationship with Hong Shuntang, but he couldn't determine his identity after all.

Although Chen Mu already remembered the characters on the shirt and the red list, and there were indeed many monks and Taoist figures in them, none of them could sit down with this old Taoist.

In any case, he did not report to the official, nor did he hide his shirt and double knives, let alone murder Chen Mu's life, which is enough to show that Lao Dao has no malicious intent.

Since there is no malice, it is easy to do.

The height of his martial arts is unprecedented for Chen Mu, and now Chen Mu, who is extremely eager to increase his strength, does not have much choice, so he immediately knelt down towards the old road and kowtowed.

"Boy Chen Mu, I implore the old gentleman to take me as an apprentice!"

Lao Dao seemed to have expected it, and he didn't have too much surprise, but slowly received the sheath, turned around slightly, and asked Chen Mu.

"Do you know my name?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know where I came from?"

"I don't know."

"Then you still dare to worship me as a teacher?"

Chen Mu raised his head and said frankly to Lao Dao: "I know that you are kind to me, and this is enough." ”

Lao Dao snorted lightly: "I am good to you, it does not mean that I am good to others, if I really want to abuse that little girl last night, will you still worship me as a teacher?" ”

"This ......" Chen Mu hesitated, yes, it is a heinous bad person, and he will be good to someone or some people, this old way has no ill will towards him Chen Mu, but it does not mean that he is a good person, many uncles in Hong Shuntang are good to Chen Mu, but Chen Mu knows that many of them are indeed not good people.

Chen Mu was still hesitating, but Lao Dao shook his head and said: "Get up, you are Chen Qiyou's son, I am not qualified to be your master, if you want to learn the knife technique, make a deal with me." ”

"Doing business?" Chen Mudang was vigilant, because at this time, he really had nothing except for the double knife and the ship box, this old man wanted to make a deal, and the purpose was only these two things, and he didn't take it by force, it didn't mean that he wouldn't covet it!

"If I had to trade these things in exchange, I'd rather not learn them." Chen Mu pointed to the things on the stone table, ready to fight at any time!

Seeing Chen Mu's posture, Lao Dao also felt funny: "You can beat the poor Dao?" ”

When Chen Mu heard this, he was also a little weak-hearted, and he heard the old Tao say: "Fighting is not playing, you have to be like a hunter, calm and lurk, if you are sure, you will kill with one blow, if you are not sure, you will be a turtle with a shrinking head, and if you shoot rashly, you can't win the enemy, and you will also expose your position and bring you the disaster of killing, what's the use of a good posture, not everyone can be scared by you." ”

Lao Dao's words also gave Chen Mu great inspiration, but these things are as important as his life, how can he give them to this Lao Dao with just a few words?

"Actually, if you wanted to do it last night, Poor Dao would have died a long time ago, or you just want to keep these things, just leave and count, so indecisive, you can only hurt yourself in the future."

When Chen Mu heard this, he immediately fell into silence, and after a while, as if he had an understanding, he raised his head and thanked the old man: "Thank you Mr. for your teachings, Chen Mu remembered." ”

Lao Dao was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "This is like words, and the understanding is finally good." ”

Saying this, he pushed the boat box and the double knife to the edge of the stone table: "These things are vital to life and death for both officialdom and rivers and lakes, but unfortunately Lao Dao is an outsider, but it is not rare. ”

Chen Mu was overjoyed, and subconsciously wanted to get the things back, but Lao Dao showed his posture and was not interested in these things, Chen Mu was not in a hurry, and asked Lao Dao: "What are the conditions of that gentleman, and what do you want me to exchange for?" ”

"I've finally got the hang of it, so sit down." Lao Dao pointed to the stone bench, and Chen Mu sat on the opposite side.

Lao Dao poured Chen Mu a bowl of bitter herbal tea, and then said eloquently.

"Maybe you've also thought of it, I want that little girl to warm the bed, not because of my dirty intentions, but for other purposes."

"I won't tell you about my teacher, in my early years, I got the guidance of the masters of Jiuhua Mountain, and practiced an internal skill, called Yin and Yang Shen Tong Xuanfa, but later I practiced it, Yang Qi did not gather, Yin Qi accumulated, and every night the cold attacked, it was difficult to resist, and it took young Qi and blood to make up for it."

"I won't hide it from you, the poor road is good at martial arts, and it has been covering the salty water village, that is, the government side, and it also gives the old road a little face, and it is easy not to touch this water village, the condition is that the water village is responsible for providing boys and girls to warm the bed of the poor road."

"It's just that the yin qi is getting more and more stagnant, and the warm bed can't alleviate the onset of yin and cold, so the old man wants to find a stove!"

"Furnace?" Chen Mu is a good reader, there are also many gods and demons in the market, some cultivators come and go, practice the method of Xuanzhen, seek to get rid of the mortal dust, and realize the ascension, that is all a fantasy, from the mouth of the old Tao, Chen Mu also does not believe it.

Seeing Chen Mu's expression, Lao Dao also shook his head and smiled: "This furnace is not what you think, Yin and Yang are divided into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang are mutually beneficial, and Xuan Gong is a great achievement, but my Yin and Yang are out of balance, and it is impossible to practice." ”

"Therefore, the poor Dao can only find a young man with strong blood and qi, practice the yang method alone, and then transition the yang energy to me, fuse the yin and cold, and in the long run, the yin poison will be gone, and this disaster will be eradicated."

"That's ......" Chen Mu also suddenly realized, it turned out that Lao Dao had such an idea.

But Chen Mu was not stunned, even when he found out what the problem was.

"The yin method you practiced only got yin poison, if I only practiced yang method, wouldn't it be yang poison?"

In other words, the yin poison of the old way is removed, but Chen Mu is planted with yang poison in disguise, I am afraid that the end in the future will be even more tragic than this old way!

If Chen Mu is poisoned by yang poison and has a fever all over his body, can he sleep in the ice cellar?

In the face of Chen Mu's questioning, Lao Dao also smiled: "You are smart, but don't worry, the poor Dao has practiced the Yin Law for many years, and this Yin Poison is also a strong skill, if you cultivate the Yang Law, you can get the help of my skills, you will definitely be able to do something that the Poor Dao has not done, and you will be able to practice the Yin and Yang Ginseng and the Mystic Law of Jiuhua Mountain!" ”

Although Lao Dao's explanation was very reasonable, Chen Mu always felt that he was justifying himself, and what kind of yin and yang internal strength and other things were too mysterious, more like the words of street gods to coax children, how could Chen Mu easily believe it.

Seeing that Chen Mu was silent, Lao Dao also sighed lightly, and said to Chen Mu: "Practicing this kung fu must be wholehearted, if you have doubts, you just want to practice, I will not pass it on to you, lest the yin poison be cured, but it will affect the poor Dao, you can think clearly before making a decision." ”

Lao Dao said this, Chen Mu was a little relieved, his brother once told him that martial arts are divided into internal and external, although Dahong Boxing is said to be a wide variety of categories, both rigid and soft, and both internal and external, but in terms of internal kung fu, it is not as good as Wudang and other long-standing wealthy factions, and the internal kung fu is mysterious and mysterious, and not many people can really say it clearly.

When he was hesitating in his heart, Chen Mu heard the old Tao say again: "If you agree, the poor road will pass on you a double sword method, which was created by Qi Ying, the righteous son of the general Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty, in order to fight against the two swords of the Japanese warriors, and the name is Zhen Haiqiong, which is exactly the right match for your long and short knife." ”

Chen Mu had heard the story of Qi Jiguang's beheading, but the story was a story in the end, and now there is a double knife method created by Qi Ying, and it is in line with his own long and short double knives, how can it seem like this old way to coax himself.

Just like last night, Chen Mu could choose to flee on the spot, but he stayed in the end.

And today, Chen Mu can also leave freely, but he is also hesitant, not because he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, but because he is too eager for strength!

Although what this old Taoist said is unbelievable, there is no doubt about his profound martial arts, aside from anything else, just in the process of Chen Mu and him, the few swordsmanship skills he secretly learned were enough for Chen Mu to choose to stay!

However, this old way also taught Chen Mu a lesson, he must memorize all these shirts and red slips as soon as possible, and then destroy the originals, otherwise anyone can snatch them, it is too dangerous.

After figuring it out, Chen Mu finally gritted his teeth and stretched out a palm towards Lao Dao: "Okay, a word is a certainty!" ”

Lao Dao smiled, stretched out his palm and lightly high-fived Chen Mu three times, it was regarded as an agreement, and the deal was completed.

The reason why Chen Mu agreed, in addition to learning art and enhancing his own strength, actually has a more important point.

That is the information that Lao Dao Shicai unintentionally revealed, if he is really a master who covers the saltwater village, and even the government has to sell him a little face, then Chen Mu hiding in his Tianhou palace is definitely safer than hiding in the saltwater village!

He Huyong has already begun to search around, Chen Mu doesn't want to drag down Pu Wu, hiding in Saltwater Village is not a long-term solution, and he has developed a dislike for Honggu, hiding in it all day long, it is better to throw himself under the wings of this old way, even if he can't learn the arts, he can find a place to take refuge.

Whatever you look at, it's a good idea to stay.

As for the disadvantages of cultivating Yin and Yang and the Xuanfa, Chen Mu has not not considered it, this set of rhetoric is already mysterious, internal strength is a profound thing, and not everyone can practice it, Chen Mu has never been in contact with it, and he has no confidence in himself.

So the right is just a thing to deceive children, if he can really learn this set of knife techniques, he will have the power to protect himself, and then he will no longer have to do nothing!

Thinking about it like this, Chen Mu asked Lao Dao: "Sir, let's start here?" ”

Lao Dao also smiled: "This kind of thing is not in a hurry, the meal is almost here, and the water village will send the food over regularly, you go out to pick it up, and then talk to you in detail after eating." ”

Chen Mu didn't think much about it, this old Taoist was the protector of the water village, and the people of the water village were supporting him, so there was nothing suspicious, so he immediately collected the boat box and double knives, and walked out of the Tianhou Palace.

But seeing that the little girl was carrying a big food box last night, timidly waiting at the foot of the steps of the Tianhou Temple, she had been waiting for a long time, and she was a little nervous no matter how she looked at it.

I didn't take a closer look last night, but when I looked at it during the day, this little girl who was the same age as Chen Mu was still a beautiful embryo!
