The intersection of 11th Avenue and 46th Street, not far from the Aircraft Carrier Museum on the Hudson River, is not too commercial in this area, there are no high-rise buildings, and most of the buildings are factories and car 4S shops.

He stood on the side of the road and looked around, Mrs. Gao only said that she was here, but did not say where it was, he had to look to see if there were any signs. There is also a nightclub called Hudson down the 46th Street network, but it is not open during the day. In Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, this kind of occasion is generally run by gangsters, but Liu Zheng said in his heart that Mrs. Gao would not let her grandson go to a nightclub to find her, it was really unreliable.

Soon she felt a gaze from across the street, where someone was staring at him intently.

That guy is dressed like a dog, no different from the 4S store salesman who shuttles through the crowd, but I said that you can't move twice, and it's like a wooden stake there, and the appearance is too suspicious!

Liu Zheng walked across the street.

The man really came to connect, and when he saw Liu Zheng coming, he introduced him to a tea house dozens of meters away without saying a word.

This tea house is decorated in an antique style, the tables and chairs of all mahogany exude a faint fragrance, Liu Zheng climbed up the third floor along the wooden stairs, and saw a square table of eight immortals by the open small window, Mrs. Gao was slowly sipping fragrant tea, and a girl was sitting on the seat next to her, holding a book and looking at it intently, Liu Zheng recognized that she attacked herself in the dark alley.

When Mrs. Gao saw Liu Zheng coming, she turned back to the girl and said, "Xiaocha, don't let people get close here." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

The girl agreed, immediately closed the book and stood up.

"Hey, that..." Liu Zheng just wanted to say hello and say sorry, but the girl lowered her head, passed shoulders with him without saying a word, and went downstairs.

Mrs. Gao smiled and motioned for Liu Zheng to come over, Liu Zheng hesitated, but walked over and sat down opposite her.

Seeing that Liu Zheng was still looking at the direction the girl was leaving, Mrs. Gao said, "Her name is Xiaocha, and she is my maid (shēn)." I apologize to you for her unauthorized action, Zheng'er, don't blame her. ”

Liu Zheng shook his hand awkwardly and said, "No, no... I don't blame her, she didn't hurt me anyway. ”

It turns out that this girl is Mrs. Gao's closest person, no wonder she can learn "The Crane Captures the Dragon".

Mrs. Gao sighed and continued, "This child is a poor person, she was abandoned on the side of the road not long after she was born, I picked her up and raised her, and has been with me ever since. Maybe it has something to do with this experience, this child is full of anger towards all men (xìng), and she doesn't listen to her a few times, as long as she doesn't make any trouble, I won't care about her. ”

Liu Zheng was silent, this kind of situation (qíng) is often heard in China, and it is not all caused by the ancient bad habit of preference for sons. It's just that I didn't expect foreign Chinese to come to this (tào), and it seems that those who stay abroad are not necessarily of high quality, hehe.

"Forget it, don't talk about her. What do you think of me? Mrs. Gao poured Liu Zheng a cup of tea and asked, "In the past, this was an Erlan restaurant, but after we drove the Erlan gang out of this neighborhood, this shop became my industry." ”

The underworld is the underworld, and he returned to his old profession in less than three sentences.

"That's... Mrs. Gao, what you said that night (qíng) is true? Liu Zheng hesitated and opened his mouth, "You, um... Are you really me (nǎi) (nǎi)? ”

Mrs. Gao smiled, if outsiders saw her now, they would definitely be very surprised, Mrs. Gao, who was in charge of life and death in the entire North America in the Hand Clan, was now like a kind old man (nǎi) (nǎi). Liu Zheng very much suspects that the reason why Xiaocha will make a move on him is not some male (xìng) hatred, but simply jealousy.

"Hehe, since you are willing to come here alone, it means that you already have the answer in your heart, so why do you need to ask more?"

Liu Zheng was silent, in fact, Mrs. Gao didn't need to lie to him at all, judging from the battle in Chinatown that day, it was very easy to catch herself, the Hand Bracelet Association had been circulating for thousands of years, and it was not at the mercy of others to fall into their hands, so why bother to engage in a pro (qíng) offensive (tào).

Liu Zheng was a little confused, and after only a few days of learning kung fu, he thought that he was some kind of great master, and he disdained Huang Claw's words of dissuasion that night, only thinking that it was the old man's overprotection, how could he know that he was the frog at the bottom of the well. If it weren't for the luck of meeting Mrs. Gao who happened to be pro (nǎi) (nǎi), then he would have died first on the second day of his trip.

When I think of my mission abroad, I can't help but have a headache. I thought it was just a simple good guy beating a bad guy, but I didn't expect the drama (qíng) to be so unpressing, and the reversal did not appear on the villain (shēn), but on him (shēn)!

After so many days, he still had no idea what the road ahead would be.

Liu Zheng was a little upset, and he didn't know how to speak, so he asked, "You called me over today, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Hehe, nothing else, I see that the weather is good, so I will ask you out for tea." Mrs. Gao is right, looking at her leisurely appearance, it really looks like she came to drink tea.

“.....”

Liu Zheng was speechless, it is better to practice if you have this time, so as not to see you old monsters only to be beaten. But since he came, this tea can't be drunk in vain, and it just so happens that his heart is full of questions, so it's good to take this opportunity to ask clearly.

"Mrs. Gao, I want to know what the 'Hand Bracelet' is all about, why did you betray Kunlun back then?"

If others dared to question him in person, Mrs. Gao would definitely take him to feed the dogs, but it was her own grandson who asked the question, and her temper was surprisingly good. She raised her eyes lightly and glanced at Liu Zheng, her hand that was making tea did not move at all, and after a while, she put down the teapot before asking: "Seeing is believing and hearing is false, how do you know that I betrayed Kunlun?" ”

"No, wait a minute, what do you mean??" Liu Zheng was not calm, "Could it be that Danny lied to me?" ”

"The contemporary iron fist heart (xìng) is pure and good, and naturally it will not lie to you, so how do you know if someone has lied to him? Don't forget, the Book of the Iron Fist was also written by people. ”

, things (qíng) seem to be getting more and more complicated, what is this!

Liu Zheng was a little upset and said angrily: "Then how can I believe that what you said is true?" ”

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "When you said the sentence just now, it means that you are still using the thinking of an ordinary person at the bottom to understand the world, and you should not completely believe anything that others tell you, whether it is your friend or a relative, unless you confirm it in person." In addition, you are a dragonborn, and you should have the calmness of Tarzan collapsing in front of you, and don't be easily mobilized by a few words (qíng). ”

Liu Zheng looked at Mrs. Gao's eyes and was surprised to find that she didn't seem to be lying, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back. However, he had just been taught a lesson, and at this time, he naturally would not vomit everything out of his intestines, so he suppressed his doubts in his heart, and just snorted unconvinced: "I don't need you to teach me how to do it." ”

Mrs. Gao looked at Liu Zheng, her watch (qíng) was smiling, but there was no related god (qíng) in those eyes, "If you don't want to listen, forget it." Anyway, in your eyes, I'm a crooked demon who kills innocents indiscriminately, right? ”

"Isn't it a drug dealer, kidnapping for ransom, and killing people casually, what are you not a cult?"

Mrs. Gao snorted coldly: "Do you know how many drug addicts there are in the United States? Let me tell you, out of a population of 400 million, 1/3 of them have a history of drug use. If I don't sell them drug pins, will they quit drugs? They don't buy from me and they buy from other people, so what's the difference. ”

"The head in the truck belongs to my former gold medalist, Ramiz. But I didn't kill him because I lost to Iron Fist, but because I violated my (jìn) order and sold the poison pin to the Chinese without permission, and I was willing to die after I found out. He came because of the huge profits of the drug pin trade, and now he died because of the poison pin, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death, without regrets. ”

Liu Zheng was speechless, he always felt that what Mrs. Gao said was a fallacy, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Mrs. Gao took a sip of the teacup and said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, just think of it as an old woman with a broken mouth and a prison (sāo) to her grandson." ”

"I don't know what to believe now. In the first 27 years of my life, I had never heard of the name 'Hand Club', and I didn't know that you existed, and I didn't even know if there was real kung fu in the world. I'm really just a low-level ordinary person, how do I know that I will get involved in these complicated things (qíng) of you in the future! The amount of information today is too large, and it is all upside down, which makes Liu Zheng, who is new to the rivers and lakes, a little crazy, "Then you should tell me what the handicraft is all about, and what happened back then!" ”

Mrs. Gao shook her head and said: "Forget it, don't look back at the vicissitudes of life, now I am no longer from Kunlun, I don't bother to explain what happened hundreds of years ago, what's the point of dwelling on it." ”

"What the hell do you mean!" Liu Zheng said loudly, "I'm a dragonborn, I should know!" ”

"There are some things that you know, but they won't do you any good, so it's better to let it go."

And then, let me act like a fool and not know anything, watching Danny Rand fight with you, watching the war between Kunlun and the Hand until one of you dies?

Can you not be so selfish!

Liu Zheng shouted in his heart, but laughed at himself on his face: "I thought I could gain anything from coming here today, it seems that my efforts were in vain." ”

After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Gao waving her hand.

"Don't worry, you and my grandchildren haven't seen each other for decades, and there are indeed many misunderstandings between each other, I believe that one day, I will tell you all these words, but not today. I have not called you today to discuss these matters with you. I ask you, do you have any questions during the practice? "The Power of the Dragon" is so special that if others have not consulted it, they can provide very little help. It just so happened that I had read the dossier back then, and although I couldn't cultivate, I still remember the general content of it, so if you have any questions, say it and listen to it. ”

Liu Zheng thought about it and sat down again, anyway, he was facing himself (nǎi) (nǎi), and there was nothing polite to be polite. He really didn't know a lot about it, so he told his doubts again.

"When my grandfather was still illiterate, he began to teach me to recite mantras sentence by sentence, (bī) and I practiced. But he never told me what it was. It wasn't until last year that I met an old-timer who guessed the general origin from the dragon pattern on my back, and then Danny approached me and told me that it was a martial art from Kunlun. ”

"Did you ever have that dream?"

It turned out that she also knew about the Jade Void Dream, Liu Zheng nodded: "I don't know how many times I have dreamed of it since I was a child, and I have also seen that dragon." That's 'longevity'? ”

"Born with nine dragons, the dragon has wings. Fen Lingde, together with the wind and clouds, beyond the wilderness and Haocang. As far as I can guess, 'Shou Lao' is the top of the real dragons - Ying Long. It is an immortal and immortal dragon, and no one knows its longevity, only that it existed in the world a long, long time before Kunlun. ”

Mrs. Gao sighed: "It seems that you have been to Kunlun many times, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Well, every time I go it's night, and it's empty, I can't feel like it's not beautiful..."

"That's a pity, Kunlun is a fairyland." Mrs. Gao's eyes showed fascination, "I remember that there is a fragrant tree in the center of Kunlun Grand Square, its shade stretches for miles, and when it blooms in April every year, the whole Kunlun will be filled with a sweet fragrance like brown sugar. ”

She blinked, stabilized her mind for a moment, and continued: "Your grandfather is correct that he didn't directly give you the empowerment of Dragon Power, this martial art is too powerful, you are a child, where can you bear it, you must become a fool." That person was also taught by Shou Lao himself, and there was no shortcut to talk about it at all. ”

"The person you're talking about, is that Wu Fengji?" Liu Zheng asked.

Mrs. Gao's originally closed eyes opened a slit, glanced at Liu Zheng and closed them again: "You also know her name?" It seems to be written in the Book of Iron Fist again. ”

"That's a god-like figure, and I've never heard of anyone whose genius can reach her heights. If it weren't for her, our world would have ceased to exist a long time ago. A look of amazement appeared on Mrs. Gao's face, and she shook her head slightly, as if she was recalling the past again.

"Looks like I'm really old. I always think about the past unconsciously, hehe. After a while, Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "I'll add some knowledge about "Dragon Power" for your grandfather!" ”
