When Qi Jingtong stood outside the side courtyard, he had already felt the cold air and swishing anger in the courtyard, and couldn't help but wonder: "Wenfu, what kind of skill is Duan Qingfeng practicing, you don't care about such an evil sect, don't go crazy." ”

Lu Bing smiled: "Then you haven't seen me, I'm even more evil, I guess Qingfeng is practicing hard in order to be able to restrain me." If I can't control myself one day, and there is a demon in my heart, Duan Qingfeng's cold tricks may be able to defeat me, so I can live. By the way, Brother Shixian, have you ever practiced qi? ”

"Of course, I have practiced, and I have practiced a dantian qi, but it is just to make the tricks more powerful. Shaolin boxing method, boxing is born from the heart, no desire is no demand, it is a great law. Qi Jingtong said, seeing that Lu Bing didn't quite understand, he smiled and said: "In short, it's not as subtle as the two of you, just simply breathing out the method of breathing, mainly relying on external kung fu." However, with the assistance of preliminary qi training, coupled with the hard practice of external kung fu, you can make the sword moves more powerful. ”

"I remember that you were able to have a tie with Qingfeng before, that is, the last time Liu Liu's gang of thieves assassinated me in Dengzhou Mansion, do you remember, how is it now, are you interested in fighting him again?" Lu Bing suddenly asked with interest.

Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "Don't provoke me, people who practice martial arts are especially competitive, so I have the right to fight with Duan Qingfeng again." But I'll have to sneak up on it, or he'll see that if I don't use my real skills, then it might as well be compared. ”

"Whatever you want."

"Then I'll go in first." Qi Jingtong stepped quietly into the remoteness, picked out a treasure blade from the sword rack at the door and touched it.

—————————————————————————————————————

"Lu Wenfu. You let me in. After a while, Duan Qingfeng shouted, his voice not hurrying or slow. I didn't hear any emotion at all, but Lu Bing knew that Duan Qingfeng should be a little angry, and he knew what he said. However, Duan Qingfeng's skill is indeed not low, in such a large courtyard, he is not roaring and shouting hoarsely, just such a faint word can be delivered to Lu Bing's ears, it should be used to transmit the sound. It's really amazing.

Lu Bing ran into the side courtyard with a sneer, and said, "What's wrong with Qingfeng, tell me to do something." ”

Duan Qingfeng said with a blushing face: "See for yourself." ”

I saw Qi Jingtong sitting cross-legged. A layer of cold mist appeared on his eyebrows, beard, and hair, and seeing that the sword he was holding just now had already broken into several pieces and fell to the ground, Lu Bing suddenly felt that the broken sword body was cold when he took it in his hand, like an ice cube in a cold day. Lu Bing hurriedly asked, "Shixian, what's wrong with him." ”

"I was practicing just now. He slammed it out. I haven't seen him for many years, where can I recognize him, and I have made four successes all at once, and the result is the current situation. After recognizing that it was Qi Jingtong, I guessed that it was you who instructed it, how can you be so confused, if I use two more successes, he will be completely frozen. When the time comes, there will be no help. Lu Wenfu, how old are you? I also have two sons and a daughter under my knees, how can I still be like a naughty boy, I don't know the importance of the road at all, is it possible that you can't be disturbed when you don't know the way of doing exercises. Duan Qingfeng looked at Lu Bing's innocent expression and said helplessly.

"Then what should I do now, Brother Shixian, he has nothing to do, right?" Lu Bing asked, Duan Qingfeng replied: "De Wenfu, you are up, you pay attention to yourself, don't urge Neidan, use a small amount of internal force to swim in Qi Shixian's body for a week, remember to control it, you are not as good as me, if you can't control it, he will be burned to ashes like those brocade guards." I'm watching you from the side, try to help you sweep the formation, you hurry up, otherwise his body will be frozen for a while, and he will inevitably fall into some disability. ”

Lu Bing didn't say anything, hurriedly put his luck in his palm, inhaled and stretched out his palm on Qi Jingtong's heavenly spirit cover, and used his own qi to swim around Qi Jingtong's body. For more than a year, Lu Bing occasionally took half a month to talk with Duan Qingfeng for a while, but most of the time he was busy with the construction of fishing grounds and markets, and he couldn't steal it out of his busy time. On weekdays, Lu Bing also exercises his body every morning, and does not pay attention to the cultivation of qi.

However, Lu Bing has a unique place, where his tendons, tendons, and shoulder blades are pierced by acupuncture points that restrict his movements. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so unconsciously use it every day, and use qi to travel all over the body every day, more than four years have passed, and there has been a year of implantation in Canedan, so Lu Bing is used to becoming natural, even if he does not practice hard, he can control the qi and be at ease.

Sure enough, the frost on Qi Jingtong's body fell off after a while, his face became ruddy, and he exclaimed after a long breath of relief: "It's so warm." ”

At this time, Duan Qingfeng had already lit the stove in the bamboo pavilion, and Qi Jingtong opened his eyes and saw Lu Bing and said, "I froze to death just now, just like being transferred into an ice cellar in the middle of winter." It's you who helped me get lucky, Brother Lu, I'm still a little cold, and then help me get lucky. ”

Lu Bing also wanted to mention his luck, but he heard Duan Qingfeng shouting: "Brother Wenfu, Brother Shixian, come over and roast the fire, don't be lucky, Lu Bing's temperament is strong, if you don't master it well, it will make Brother Shixian's blood gushing and your body is hot, and the yang energy is too strong and the internal fire is too strong, but it is not good for your body." ”

The two of them came to the bamboo pavilion at this time, Duan Qingfeng brought wine, fruits, meat, plums, etc., and the three of them drank a little wine. It's just that the scene is a little strange, on this September day, the weather is still a little hot, Lu Bing and Duan Qingfeng are far away from Qi Jingtong, and Qi Jingtong is holding the stove and roasting vigorously, as if it is winter, his face is not uncomfortable at all, but a comfortable face.

Qi Jingtong laughed at himself: "I blamed myself for not being able to do it just now, I was already old, and my skills were not as good as others and I dared to challenge Brother Qingfeng, and I ended up like that just now, it's really ridiculous to think about it." ”

"In the rivers and lakes, the back waves of the long sword push the front waves, a mountain is higher than a mountain, there is nothing to compare with the level of our martial arts, which does not mean that Wudang is more powerful than Shaolin." Duan Qingfeng said, although his tone was a little arrogant. But the words really found a step for Qi Jingtong, Wudang Shaolin has been fighting for a long time, Duan Qingfeng, who is a disciple of Wudang, and Qi Jingtong, a lay disciple of Shaolin. Qi Jingtong lost such a contest between the two sides, so he had to find some face for Qi Jingtong and give him a step.

Qi Jingtong hugged his fists and said: "Qi has thanked you, I heard Wenfu say that the two of you are also brothers in life and death, from today on, if Brother Duan does not dislike it, we will also be brothers." ”

"That's the best." Duan Qingfeng still said coldly, raising his glass to invite the two of them. The three of them clinked glasses and drank them all.

Qi Jingtong asked: "Brother Duan's martial arts are so far, he should be in the forefront of the world, right?" ”

Duan Qingfeng nodded: "To be honest, it's true." I should be in the top 10. In fact, Wenfu is not motivated. If she practices diligently, she will definitely be able to be above me, not far away, even if he can concentrate on practicing for two or three years, he will be able to enter the top five masters in the world. ”

"Pull it down, I'm not as crazy as you. Besides, I don't have the space. I was so busy with the mess in my fishing grounds that I was running out of toilet work. If you still practice, I'm not here, let's just talk about you, even if you practice, can you beat thousands of troops? You say that you can walk on the ground in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and come and go freely, I believe this, but what if you really face the enemy. If it does not kill and injure, it has no effect, and it is useless for the country and the people. So what to do with the exercises, if it is self-preservation, I think now the three of us are enough. ”

Lu Bing saw that Duan Qingfeng was about to speak and said: "Don't be unconvinced, even if you can defeat thousands of troops, then what if the other party is thousands of people in the martial arts?" Even if this is okay, ten thousand arrows are fired in unison, fire salvos, poisoning and plotting, in short, it is impossible to prevent killing you, so this martial art is to be able to strengthen the body, it is enough to be able to defend yourself, and if you can practice well, you can practice more, there is no need to do it as a lifelong career. Even if I am the first in the world, I don't necessarily have a more leisurely life than me, I now have your brothers and brothers, as well as wives and children, and more careers that I like, I can leave a sense of existence in history, and I also have the value of existence in reality, which is enough. Lu Bing talked eloquently: "What's more, industry rejuvenates the country, money can make ghosts grind, I think this money is more real than power sometimes, and money is used well and it is infinitely fun, haluha." ”

Duan Qingfeng glanced at Lu Bing and said: "It's actually some crooked reasoning and heresy, don't call Lu Bing in the future, you call Chang Youli to calculate." ”

The three of them laughed, and Qi Jingtong asked, "Lu Bingqingfeng, what are your plans next?" ”

Duan Qingfeng said without thinking: "Practice martial arts and cultivate the heart, wait for the master to return from the tour to give his old man a pension, and then continue to accompany the sword, of course, if Lu Wenfu can practice hard and compete with me in sword dance, it will be better, but it's a pity that he is not motivated." ”

"Why did you go around again, stop me here. Speaking of future plans, I don't have any plans, just do what I want to do, I have money now, I have fame, just do well, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, just live a peaceful and stable life. As for the business, it will be enough for my children and grandchildren to eat for a lifetime if it continues to grow in the long run, and whether it will continue to grow depends on the laws of the market and my personal energy, so there is no need to make myself so tired for such things. When my father retired, I brought them here with my younger brothers and sisters, and they were happy and happy. If you have to ask what I want to do, help one of my brothers take revenge, and then find Old Man Wan, there is nothing else to ask for. Lu Bing said.

Duan Qingfeng nodded, although Lu Bing did not explain, but Duan Qingfeng understood that the brother he said should be Zhu Houzhao, wealth and nobility are not forgotten, and comfort is not spared, Lu Bing has fulfilled his promise to his brother, and he knows friendship in life and death. The sheep's horn mourns Zuo Botao, Yu Boya Zhongzi is not in the same period as Er'er, and he also has the same affection as Lu Bingzhu Houzhao.

Qi Jingtong saw that Lu Bing's eyes were a little erratic, and then saw Duan Qingfeng's eyes flickering, and he knew that there must be an inside story in it, and the gentleman should not say anything if he was rude, so Qi Jingtong did not express his doubts. Lu Bing quickly pulled his thoughts out of his mind and asked Qi Jingtong: "When is Brother Shixian going to leave for Beijing, the days are fast, you tell me in advance, and I will let my subordinates load the gifts that you brought back to the capital." ”

"It's almost there, let's leave in a few days, how many gifts can be given, and then it's too late to load." Qi Jingtong said, Lu Bing nodded, and didn't say anything, Qi Jingtong continued: "It's just that I don't know when I will be able to return this time, and the old mother at home has to ask your brother." ”

"If we brothers say anything polite to each other, you can also help take care of it more over there." Lu Bing smiled and patted Qi Jingtong on the shoulder and said with a smile, the three of them were so unhappy to talk about wine and martial arts.

————————————————————————————————————

Three days later, Qi Jingtong said goodbye to his mother and prepared to leave for Beijing, except for the mansion in the Lu Mansion, Qi Jingtong was really shocked again, Qi Jingtong pointed to the long carriage of more than ten carriages and asked, "This can't be?" ”

"Didn't I tell you, go to the capital to help me give gifts, this is a gift list, this is a letter, help me give them one by one, thank you." Lu Bing handed Qi Jingtong a stack of letters and a thick gift list and said.

Qi Jingtong coughed lightly and said, "What, I'm afraid it's not safe to travel with so many valuable gifts along the way, right?" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Shixian, I have already made arrangements, am I Lu Bing such a careless person?" Lu Bing said and pointed to the side, seventy or eighty men came from there, although they were strong, not all of them were warriors with thick limbs, and some were not even strong, and their big skinny eyes were spinning. Qi Jingtong looked at Lu Bing, squinted his eyes and smiled.

Lu Bing said: "There are so many people plus the horsemen who drive the car, there are a hundred and ten people, and Brother Shixian's martial arts are also so exquisite, I don't think any bandit will risk his life to move your guys, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, there are always people who are mad," Qi Jingtong laughed a few times and then lowered his voice and said to Lu Bing: "But I'm just strange, how can such a rich master as 'Master Lu' not equip his guards with horses, even the kind you invented is not equipped with even a firecracker, you don't look like a person who knocks on the door and is reluctant to spend money, since you are a guard, you have to be armed to the teeth, no, no, what are you going to do." ”

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Brother Shixian still understands me, hehe." ”

Qi Jingtong gasped and said, "You mean you didn't want these people to come back at all, so you didn't prepare the horses for the trip." Could it be that you want to keep them in the capital?! What the hell do you want to do, the capital is a tiger's den in Longtan, if you don't do it, you're going to set yourself on fire, I'm afraid"

"What are you afraid of, Shixian don't worry, there are my spies in the capital, and this time I want to enable them and improve this relationship. Previously, the emperor was staring at me to death, so I could only withdraw most of my men from the capital, and maybe they would still stare at me in the future, and if I didn't arrange for the next day, I wouldn't have a chance. Besides, I arranged people, aren't you still inspired? Lu Bing smiled evilly.

"Where did I say anything?" Qi Jingtong was puzzled, Lu Bing looked at the convoy and took a deep breath and said: "I just want to be an old man in the mountains and wilderness for the rest of my life, but I don't want to be the second Yang Tinghe, after all, there are many people in the capital who are worried about me, and this time the gift givers are all happy, so no one pays attention to my group of people who escort gifts." It should be successful, and if it doesn't work, it's not a big sin, so just have the right to do it, and keep suffering from it. ”

"Okay." Qi Jingtong nodded solemnly. (To be continued......)
