33. Night Talk (II) [69/100]
Under the night, the moon hangs high.
In the courtyard, Shen Qiu shared his thoughts against the enemy.
"This is not a matter of the village, in Shen's opinion, the owner of the village is wrong, you almost smashed the old rules of Qilu by yourself.
But you haven't been able to establish a new rule that you want.
The two slogans of right and wrong are indeed loud, but they are only limited to the interior of the cottage and have not spread to the entire Qilu. ”
Qiu Buping was noncommittal about this, and he motioned to Shen Qiu with his eyes to continue.
Now that he has opened the chatterbox, Shen Qiu did not hide it, he said to Qiu Buping bluntly:
"The old rules of this land of Qilu have collapsed, but the new rules are difficult to appear.
It is trapped in the cracks of chaos, the southern dynasty is weak, the northern dynasty is arrogant, and the external force is not enough to change the status quo of chaos, but the internal operation of this world has made this Qilu more and more complicated.
With the blessing of various pressures such as grievances and grievances, the chaotic situation can only continue to distort and develop inward.
There is no such thing as healthy competition.
There is only a constant competition to see who is more ruthless and who has no bottom line. ”
Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, he spread his hand and said:
"Only the wicked can live better in chaos, but the good can only be oppressed, so the good also become bad, and the dark ones become darker and darker.
and the bright ones are also blackened. ”
These words did not go into specific matters, and Shen Qiu just commented in the general direction.
Because Shen Qiu felt that the issue of right and wrong was not at the specific implementation level.
It's that the general direction of the decision-making route is wrong.
Xiao Tie listened to it in a fog, and only felt that there was some truth in what he said, but he couldn't understand it thoroughly, but Qiu Buping understood it.
The owner of the village showed a strange smile, and he looked at Shen Qiu.
He said:
"Then Shen Shaoxia, where is the way to break the game?"
"The owner of the enemy village is indeed indecisive, but the indecisiveness that Shen said is not about whether to dissolve the village or not."
Shen Qiu pointed to the sky, and he said to Qiu Buping:
"The enemy lacks courage and does not have the determination and idea to change the world.
Since ancient times, the initial period of the dynasty has always been the best time to enforce the rules.
Because of a blank piece of paper, it is best to paint.
Shen felt that the only way to break the situation was to seize the opportunity to occupy Qilu and divide the territory.
Sweep away the old, eye-catching stuff!
The owner of the village founded the country in the land of Qilu, and made himself a big emperor, so that the second master and the third master were the little emperors, which is not everyone in the village is the founding father.
Only when the house is cleared can it be treated. ”
Shen Qiu looked at Qiu Buping's expression, and he said:
"I can actually understand the entanglement of the enemy lord.
Bandits will always be bandits, and there are some things that the government can do, but bandits can't. If the bandits must do it, then first turn themselves into an official government...
This is the point that Feizhai has come to this point, all because the owner of the village does not dare to take another step forward.
didn't dare to cross the distinction between monarchs and ministers, and didn't dare to sit in that position, so the only hope of right and wrong was broken. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Qiu shrugged his shoulders, and he concluded:
"Whether the owner of the enemy village is unwilling to do anything, whether he is afraid of taking responsibility, or whether he is disdainful of that position, in short, it is too late to say this.
No matter how good Shen said, it was just an afterthought. ”
Xiao Tie, who was beside Shen Qiu, was a little scared, he thought that his father would be very angry when he heard Shen Qiu's big brother Shen Qiu's rebellious words.
After all, my father also studied the learning of saints in the first half of his life, and the so-called heaven and earth monarch is not a joke.
But no.
Not only did Qiu Buping not get angry, but patted his chest and let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahahaha"
He laughed heartily in the night, as if all the worries in his heart had been dissipated at this moment.
Under the bright moon, the big boss put his hands behind his back and said in a cheerful tone:
"I thought that no one in the world understood me, but I didn't know that an 18-year-old Huangkou boy from Jiangnan could guess my worries.
It's really my confidant. ”
He reached out and patted Xiao Tie on the shoulder.
He said:
"My son, you, Brother Shen Qiu, are not ordinary things in the pool. With such knowledge, there will be great deeds in the future, and I will be relieved to be a father by giving you to him. ”
After speaking, he looked at Shen Qiu again, and he said seriously, seriously:
"Shen Qiu, what you said is right, I Qiu Mou really never wanted to take that step, and the third child also made a vague suggestion to me, but I rejected it.
I don't want to sit on the world in my life, and my ambition is not here.
My heart isn't here either! ”
The owner of the village let out a sigh of relief, and he said to Shen Qiu, as if to himself:
"I have experienced the tragedy of my own family, and I have no love in my life, and the reason why I have survived to this day is just to hope that this good and evil will be peaceful in the world.
Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and there can be a bright future in front of you! ”
"Then, what if good and evil are not fair, justice is not there, and the world is bleak?"
Shen Qiu asked.
Qiu Buping laughed for a long time, and he said meaningfully:
"Then someone has to stand up, open their eyes for God, cut off the injustice in the world, and settle the rights and wrongs of the world! It's just that that person is definitely not Qiu. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
Qiu Buping waved his hand, he was satisfied with Shen Qiu's answer, but he didn't want to continue talking.
He said to Shen Qiu:
"Shen Shaoxia, I watched you use knives all the way, although they are still jerky, but they already have a trace of the charm of knife skills.
Presumably by chance, you sensed some kind of knife intent that is good at fighting, right? ”
Shen Qiu nodded.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be hidden, and it can't be hidden from a heavenly master.
"That's right."
The big boss moved his fingers and said to Shen Qiu:
"I'm going to Yishui to stop the Northern Dynasty in a few days, how about you go with me?"
"Father, Brother Shen Qiu has decided to help you with me."
Xiao Tie immediately spoke:
"He said that this trip is to repay your kindness."
"Kindness or something, the words just now have been returned."
Qiu Buping shook his head, and he explained:
"I just saw that Shen Qiu Shaoxia and my son had an extraordinary relationship, so I wanted to take this opportunity to help you control that fierce sword intent.
If you really want to be grateful to me, you will teach me this reckless son in the future.
If he has your knowledge, I can rest easy. ”
Shen Qiu nodded.
Qiu Buping took a few steps forward, and suddenly pointed at the sword and slashed forward into the air.
In the sharp sound of breaking through the air, he said:
"The realm of 'meaning' on the path of martial arts is not something that you can touch with such martial arts, but since I talked about this tonight, I will tell you about my experience.
What does that mean?
I think it's the essence of the word. ”
Qiu Buping looked at the bright moon above his head, and he said to Shen Qiu and Xiao Tie eloquently:
"If you wait for the two of you to walk the martial arts, if one day, after you have a unique understanding and application of your martial arts, you will no longer be confined to one move and one style.
The so-called sunset and sea tide are all landscapes, flowers, trees, grass and stones can be swords, and stunts are at your fingertips. ”
With a slight swing of Qiu Buping's fingers, there was a rush of energy, extremely sharp, like a spear piercing, Shen Qiu couldn't help but raise his head.
And Xiao Tie subconsciously took two steps back.
But that finger was obviously a few feet away from the two of them.
"The above words were all told to me by an old man."
Qiu Buping chuckled, withdrew his fingers, put them behind his back, and said to Shen Qiu and Zhetie:
"And I also have my own understanding of 'martial intent'.
When I knew the most about my marksmanship, my grasp of the fighter became more and more perfect, based on the wielding of that marksmanship.
One step closer, I have my own 'martial intent'. ”
"Shen Qiu, you're optimistic."
Qiu Buping took a step towards Shen Qiu, and the murderous aura on his body gathered and dispersed, like some kind of intangible thing, pulling Shen Qiu into his special senses.
Xiao Tie beside him didn't notice it.
In Shen Qiu's eyes, the hatred that was walking slowly in front of him was like turning into a sky-breaking spear.
With each step, the sharp qi expands by one point.
After three steps, a little cold sweat oozed from Shen Qiu's forehead.
He felt a shining silver spear locked on to him in front of him, like a harrier eagle locking onto its prey, and a tiger about to reach out for its claws.
No matter where he went, no matter how he blocked, no matter how he dodged, he would be pierced through the heart by that fatal shot.
"Whoever has martial intent, fight with it.
It is like an antelope hanging its horns, the moon reflecting a deep pool, and it is like falling into a chessboard and falling into a quagmire.
At the beginning, you will fall into the opponent's 'will', and all counterattacks and confrontations will be mastered by the opponent, even if you have a thousand wonderful methods, it will be difficult to break through. ”
The voice of Qiu Buping sounded in Shen Qiu's ears.
Along with them, there were two fingers that came in.
Shen Qiu also raised his palm, as if holding a long knife, and between the eruptions of true qi, he slashed at Qiu Buping, wanting to repel the "gun" in front of him.
"Smack"
The hand knife slashed out, but it was easily removed by the finger.
The two fingers were like spears, the speed was very slow, but they couldn't resist, and finally lightly clicked on Shen Qiu's heart.
All the strange senses, the murderous aura, the sense of crisis that was locked in, all disappeared at this moment.
Shen Qiu's breath was short, and he looked at the fingers in his heart, and took a step back.
He bowed to Qiu Buping and said:
"Thank you for teaching the enemy."
Qiu Buping accepted this bow calmly, and he said to Shen Qiu:
"My gun intent is realized from the spear of a hundred birds towards the phoenix.
As long as they are locked by the gun, the enemy has nowhere to run. And what your sword intent is, only you can understand and know.
The birth of sword intent should have been to practice knife skills to a bottleneck that could not be broken through.
But since you have had an adventure, you have to grasp it. Once the true meaning of martial arts is understood, its martial arts moves are also more terrifying than those of martial artists who simply use 'skills'. ”
He patted Shen Qiu on the shoulder and said:
"I don't know how to use a knife, so I can't teach you.
But I think that since your sword intent is so fierce, it will be very beneficial for your martial arts to fight more people on the battlefield last few times.
It's late at night, so you two go and rest.
In a few days, come with me into battle to kill the enemy! ”
Shen Qiu hugged his fist and said goodbye to Qiu Buping, Xiao Tie said a few more words to his father, and then left with Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu quickly returned to his room, but after thinking about it, he walked next door again.
He didn't knock, he pushed it open and walked in.
There were two candles in the room, and in the flickering light, the mountain ghost was sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand, reading attentively.
He didn't wear a mask, and he didn't pay attention to Shen Qiu, who walked into the house, and seemed to have all his energy in the book in his hand.
This kind of serious posture made Shen Qiu feel ashamed.
He sat opposite the mountain ghost and said to his eldest brother:
"Don't read in this dark-lit place, it's not good for your eyes."
The mountain ghost didn't look at him, but turned a page of the book.
This book was taken from Qiu Buping, the true sage knowledge, although the meaning is obscure, and the mountain ghosts can't understand it.
However, Qiu Buping is a generation of well-educated people, and each sentence has its own commentary.
Such an annotated book is the favorite of mountain ghosts.
"I just told the owner of the enemy village that in a few days, I will go with him to stop the army and buy time for the transfer of wounded soldiers, women and children in the village."
Shen Qiu looked at the mountain ghost and said:
"Brother, will you come with me?"
"No, no."
The mountain ghost's knife eyebrows raised, he looked at the book, and said in a calm tone:
"It's too long to go back to Taihang. Qiu Buping gave away a lot of books, and I want to go back and read them. ”
"When you go back to Taihang, you are also hunting the people of the Northern Dynasties."
Shen Qiu said:
"This time, the enemy is mainly going to kill, but the real elite of the Northern Dynasty, and there is a general of the Northern Dynasty."
"Huh?"
The mountain ghost looked away from the page.
He looked at Shen Qiu and said:
"It's from the Northern Dynasty?"
"Yes!"
Shen Qiu nodded, and the mountain ghost nodded without hesitation, picked up the book again, and said to Shen Qiu:
"Then count me in."
This sudden change in attitude made Shen Qiu a little overwhelmed.
The eldest brother of his own family has a quiet nature, and he is not interested in anything except practicing swordsmanship and learning.
Only for this Northern Dynasty...
It's really the depth of "love".
-----------------------
After taking Xiao Tie and Shen Qiu away, Qiu Buping was still standing alone under the moonlight.
He stroked his beard, thinking about Shen Qiu's words, after a stick of incense, in the faint chirping of eagles above the night sky, he suddenly turned around.
I saw a familiar figure sitting on the eaves behind him, under a bright moon.
"Brother Ai, I thought you were gone."
Qiu Buping looked at the people on the eaves, and he said:
"You came to Qilu for my son, and you are bound to take my son's bones to make your puppet.
I know you have a knot in your heart, and I don't want to untie it.
But I'm not going to give my son to you! ”
Qiu Buping jumped up and landed on the eaves.
He looked at Ai Dacha, who was hiding there in front of him, without saying a word.
This Qingyang Demon Lord was still wearing the parrot green robe, dressed like a singer, his face was full of meat, but there were a few scars.
The loose hair on the top of the head has also been shaved off, which looks rather strange.
But the most bizarre thing is his left arm.
That arm had obviously been cut off by Qiu Buping, but now, in that sleeve, there was another intact hand.
It's just that under the bright moon, the skin of Ai Dacha's left hand glows with a cold light.
Qiu Buping looked at him, Ai Dacha also raised his head, looking at Qiu Buping, his eyes were full of hatred and viciousness, but he didn't take the initiative to do it.
With his hands behind his back, the enemy leaned down and said to Ai Dacha in a calm tone:
"But it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, it is better to do this. I'll give you a different person to make doll materials, how about it? ”
"Phew!"
The Qingyang Demon Lord spat, and he said to Qiu Buping:
"Your son is a genius of the heavens, and such supernatural muscles and bones are difficult to find in the world for a master of mechanics like Lao Tzu!
You little old man, where are you going to get a material that can make Lao Tzu look at it? ”
"Use me."
Qiu Buping pointed to his heart and said to Ai Dacha:
"Exchange me for my son, I'm the seventh master on the list today, I can always get into your eyes, right?"
Ai Dacha's big and small eyes widened sharply.
He looked Qiu Buping up and down, rubbed his chin with his right hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Lao Tzu suddenly remembered one thing, when you started practicing martial arts, you were already in your twenties, and you were a sour scholar in the first half of your life, and your innate Qi had already been lost.
It stands to reason that you can't become a master of the heavenly list at all, but you have broken this rule. ”
The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, and he said:
"Brother Zhang once said to me that you are a person with great adventures.
Born with the fate of 'seven killings', it is destined to be a lonely star, and there is a sign of a dragon and snake rising from the land, but the mind is difficult to understand, and it cannot be detached.
You tell me honestly, revenge.
Have you ever had a great adventure, washed the essence and reawakened the innate Qi? ”
"Yes."
Qiu Buping said:
"Naturally, there is a great adventure, and this Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear was also found from the place of adventure."
"Okay, I've changed!"
The Demon Lord slapped his knee and responded.
He took out a knife casually and was about to stab Qiu Buping in the heart, but was opened by Qiu Buping.
The big boss stretched out his finger and said to Ai Dacha:
"Don't worry, I still want to tell you the secret of my great adventure, and I can tell you all about it, and that secret is related to immortals.
In this world, only me and Zhang Moxie know! Do you want to know? Brother Ai. ”
"If you want to know, do something for me first."
