When Lao Zhaohua was talking with Fa Zheng secretly, Zhang Baoer also followed Hou Jie to the mountain behind the temple. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The deserted path leads to a cave entrance, which is covered with green moss, wild penny, and thatch, and on the top of the cave, which is more than five feet high, a large field of green vines hangs down and obscures the door.

Walking into the cave, a strange wind whistling through, cold to the bone, between the cracks of the stone wall is dense opaque moss, in the March season, obviously the outside has already bloomed all over the field, the cave is still warm and cold.

Zhang Baoer looked around and couldn't help but gasp: there were dense bats hanging upside down on the rocks above her head.

These bats are all black and oily, with a layer of soft fluff, small round heads, two large ears, and small eyes under the ears are closed. Some also show two spiky, tiger-like fangs, with a row of small, fine, spiky fangs underneath, like those of vampires.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Zhang Baoer unconsciously felt a chill down her spine, and she couldn't wait to leave this place immediately.

"Bao'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Zhang Baoer's face was different, Hou Jie asked with concern.

Zhang Bao'er suppressed the discomfort in her heart and forced a smile: "Somehow, every time I see these bats, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart!" ”

"How many times have you been here with me, and I haven't seen any reaction from you, so I'm not used to it today?" Hou Jie shook his head and said: "Every night at the third watch, the master let me practice alone in this cave, if I want to replace you, won't I be scared to death?" ”

"What? Your master and uncle asked you to come here to practice during the third watch? Zhang Baoer felt a little incredible: "What kind of exercises do you have to come here in the middle of the night to practice?" ”

Hou Jie replied: "Master said, what you practice is eyesight and hearing!" ”

Zhang Bao'er didn't know how the head of the abbot of Fazheng grew, and he was able to come up with such a method of practice. However, Zhang Bao'er is not a descendant, and he certainly knows that bats have a keen auditory orientation system, which can emit ultrasound waves through their throats, and then use the ultrasonic responses to identify directions and detect targets. It is really imaginative to practice listening and eyesight in this way.

"Bao'er, you sit!" Hou Jie pointed to the two stones on the ground.

Zhang Baoer forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, sat down, and looked at Hou Jie with a smile.

This Hou Jie is not the eldest brother Hou Jie before the crossing, not only does he not look like him, but his temperament is completely different. Zhang Baoer couldn't help but look a little trance-like, as if she had returned to the world she once lived in.

"Bao'er, why are you weird today, is there something on your mind?" Hou Jie asked suspiciously.

"What's on your mind!" Zhang Bao'er came back to his senses at this time, and he quickly changed the topic: "Monkey, your martial arts are getting more and more handsome." ”

Hou Jie and Zhang Bao'er are both orphans, they met when they fled to Chenzhou ten years ago, and they became good brothers with the same illness.

Five years ago, when he asked Hua to accept Zhang Bao'er as an apprentice, Hou Jie went to Baoshan Temple to become a monk and became a disciple of the abbot of Fazheng.

Hou Jie is three years older than Zhang Baoer, and in Zhang Baoer's previous memory, it is customary to call Hou Jie a "monkey". At this moment, Zhang Baoer called Hou Jie like this, and she was not the slightest stranger.

Hou Jie scratched his bald head embarrassedly and said, "Master is strict, and if you don't want to practice well, you can't do it!" ”

At this moment, Hou Jie had long since lost the coldness of facing He Shi, he asked with a smile: "Bao'er, why are you here?" ”

"I've got something delicious for you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Baoer took out an oil-paper bag from his arms, which was the roast chicken that Lao Zhaohua bought for him.

Hou Jie subconsciously looked around, he was a monk, if people found out about opening meat, it would be a violation of the precepts.

Realizing that this was in a secluded cave, Hou Jie put it down, and he grimaced at Zhang Bao: "Thank you, Bao'er!" ”

"You practice martial arts every day, don't make up for it too much, how can you stand it?" Zhang Baoer said with a smile.

Hou Jie's eyes were a little moist: "Bao'er, eighty-nine!" ”

"What eighty-nine?" Zhang Baoer was inexplicable.

"I've counted them all, this is the eighty-ninth roast chicken you sent me!" Hou Jie stared at Zhang Bao'er and said seriously.

Zhang Baoer knows that Hou Jie likes to eat roast chicken since he was a child, and since Hou Jie went to Baoshan Temple to be a monk, Zhang Baoer often bought roast chicken to give him to eat. Sometimes he would rather starve himself than let Hou Jie eat roast chicken.

Even though his predecessor is not the same, but when it comes to his feelings for Hou Jie, Zhang Baoer has to admire. Zhang Baoer secretly thought in her heart: In the future, this brotherhood with Hou Jie will have to be continued by herself.

Zhang Bao'er patted Hou Jie's shoulder with a smile and said, "We brothers, do you still need to say so much?" ”

Hou Jie nodded emphatically.

Martial arts training is a very hard errand, how many times Hou Jie wanted to give up, it was because of Zhang Baoer's affection and support that he gritted his teeth and persevered to this day. Hou Jie secretly swore in his heart: When he practices martial arts, he will definitely repay Bao'er in the future, and let him have roast chicken to eat every day.

In the gloomy cave, only the sound of Hou Jie tearing and chewing roast chicken was heard, and Zhang Baoer lowered his head and thought about his thoughts.

……

When Zhang Baoer came to the gate of Baoshan Temple, there was no trace of the old flower.

"Huh? Didn't you say that you were waiting here? ”

Zhang Bao'er looked around while talking to herself, and before the words fell, she saw Lao Hua hurriedly coming out of the temple.

"Master, where have you been?"

"Oh! I'm going to the latrine! "I always told that the flower face did not change its color, and it was a lie.

……

At sunset, Zhang Baoer sat in the open space in front of the Land Temple, practicing gambling skills under the supervision of the old flower.

Looking at Zhang Baoer's absent-minded appearance, Lao Zhaohua couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to knock the dice in Zhang Baoer's hand to the ground.

Zhang Baoer, who was thinking about her thoughts, was startled by Lao Zhaohua's sudden move, and looked at Lao Zhaohua in amazement.

The old man scolded angrily: "If you can't calm down, what's the use of practicing?" It's better not to practice! ”

Seeing that the old man was angry, Zhang Baoer hurriedly got up and apologized: "Master, I was wrong, I will practice seriously!" ”

"Don't be perfunctory with me, you think I don't know what you think!" Lao Zhaohua sneered: "Do you think that no matter how good your gambling skills are, they can't be used to win money, in this case, it's not the same whether you practice or not!" ”

Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened, she always called Hua Zhenshen, she really thought so in her heart, let him break it at once.

"Actually, you couldn't be more wrong!" The old flower looks like he hates iron but not steel.

Seeing that Lao Zhaohua was so distressed, Zhang Baoer felt a little reluctant in his heart, no matter what, Lao Zhaohua was still good to himself, he hurriedly said: "The apprentice is willing to listen to the master's teachings!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Bao'er was repentant, Lao Yuhua's face softened, and he squatted down and said, "Master asked you to practice gambling skills not to win money, but to let you improve your gambling skills!" ”

Zhang Bao'er asked strangely, "Master, since you can't use it to win money, what's the use of improving your gambling skills?" ”

"No, what you think is gambling and what I call gambling are two different things!" The old name is Hua Xun and seductive: "The gambling I am talking about is a science of intrigue in every inch, in the eyes of ordinary people, it gambles on technology and luck, but in fact, the real fight is strategy." So, you have to be proficient in your gambling skills, and if you can't beat an opponent with the same chance in the gambling house, how can you beat a stronger opponent in other areas? ”

After listening to Lao Zhaohua's words, Zhang Baoer was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Lao Zhaohua to teach him gambling skills and this deep meaning.

Lao Zhaohua continued: "You think that your gambling skills have been practiced very well, to tell you the truth, you are just getting started, and you are still early from the highest level?" ”

Zhang Bao'er humbly asked, "Master, what is the highest level of gambling?" ”

"Don't bet!"

"Don't bet?" Zhang Baoer became more and more puzzled: "Master, why don't you gamble?" ”

"Gambling is divided into three realms, one of which is to gamble, which is the most inferior, and you are only able to gamble now! The second is good gambling, which is the middle vehicle, and it can be invincible when it comes to this realm. And the best realm is not to gamble! Lao Hua patiently explained: "Since it is a gamble, there will be wins and losses, no one can only lose and not win, the world is very cruel, maybe you have won a hundred times, only lost once, and this time it is possible to kill you, to avoid such a result, only do not gamble!" ”

Zhang Bao'er said thoughtfully: "Master, the gambling technique you mentioned should not only be used in gambling houses, right?" ”

"Teachable!" Lao Zhaohua nodded with satisfaction: "You are right, practicing gambling in the gambling house is just a means, people are faced with choices all the time in their lives, and every choice is a gamble, relying on gambling alone, it is impossible to completely control their own destiny." ”

"Master, what should I do then?" Zhang Baoer asked curiously.

"I'll teach you mind reading!" Lao Zhaohua showed a proud look on his face: "The mind reading technique of this door is divided into three parts, one is gambling, the second is contemplation, and the third is conspiracy!" If you can learn these three skills, you won't have any problems galloping the world! The reason why Master taught you gambling is to get you started so that you can learn the art of observation and strategy in the future! ”

"Honmen?" Zhang Bao'er asked, "Master, you have to tell the apprentice, which sect are we from?" ”

"That's a long story, I'll tell you later! I'll tell you about this technique and conspiracy first! ”

"Yes! Master! Zhang Baoer pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Guanshu is actually the art of observing people, and being proficient in Guanshu can analyze what kind of person the other party is from a person's words and deeds, and even what the other party has experienced, what the future will be, and so on."

Zhang Bao'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, she always called Hua to say that it was so miraculous, could it be that this observation technique was a special function of the warlocks in the rivers and lakes.

Lao Zhaohua seemed to guess what Zhang Bao'er was thinking, glanced at Zhang Bao'er and said: "It's not that the master is alarmist, there are no secrets in this world, a person's past and future can be seen from his words and deeds!" Don't you believe it? ”

Zhang Bao'er hurriedly said: "How can the apprentice not believe what the master said? ”

"Just believe it!" Lao Zhaohua continued: "There are many ways to observe people, for example, to observe a person, to observe the general rules of his courtesy, the noble to observe his progress, the rich to observe what he raises, to listen to his deeds, to observe what he says, to be poor to see what he does not receive, and to observe what he does not do!" ”

Zhang Baoer, who always called Hua to say something, was in a fog, and she didn't understand the meaning at all.

Looking at Zhang Bao'er's stupid appearance, Lao Minghua didn't care, he smiled slightly and said: "What I said is not something that can be learned in a day or two, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, I'm just giving you a general explanation, so that you can have a preliminary understanding of the mind reading technique of this door!" ”

It was only at this time that Zhang Baoer realized that his master was still a master outside the world.

"I'll tell you about the trick!"

"Master, is this a trick of strategy?" Zhang Baoer guessed.

"That's right, it's a trick!" The old name is Hua Jaw Shou said: "Conspiracy sounds very complicated, in fact, complex conspiracy is composed of the most basic and simplest conspiracy, and if you learn the simple conspiracy, you can arbitrarily combine it into a more complex conspiracy." There are three realms of conspiracy: looking at the mountain is the mountain, and looking at the water is the water; Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water; Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water. Seek the road to be simple, the road to be simple, so it is. ”

Zhang Baoer was completely dizzy after hearing this.

Lao Zhaohua took out a package from his arms and handed it to Zhang Baoer: "I have taught you a lot of words in the past few years, read slowly when you have time, if you really don't understand, you can ask me!" ”

Zhang Baoer reverently took the package and opened the wrapped Jinpa to take a closer look. I saw that the inside was really a parchment book about half an inch thick, which looked old, and there were five big characters written on the cover with a very rare ancient seal - the secret book of mind reading!

"Alright, put it away!" Lao Zhaohua stood up and said to Zhang Bao'er: "You continue to practice, Master has something to do when he goes out!" ”

"Yes! Master! ”

Zhang Baoer didn't dare to slack off, took the secret book into his arms, and practiced the dice honestly.
