Chapter 186: Dancing with Demons 3
The sun never looked in the sky above the Horror Apartment, but for the natives of Di City, this kind of weather really didn't matter, they didn't care.
Because even if the sky is clear, the smoke rising from the factory will render Di Shi extremely gloomy.
When danger comes, those who have the ability to leave choose to leave, and those who are incapable or say they don't care about the danger stay.
The sky is getting darker and gloomy, and the wind and rain are coming, and people are powerless to stop it.
The smoke drifted to the windowsill where Wang Defa was standing, Wang Defa was noncommittal, in an ordinary hotel, in a forty-square-meter room, Wang Defa and Ge Xuan asked for a table of good dishes, and now they have eaten almost enough.
I drank too hard!
In the past, Ge Xuan didn't drink like he did today, it seems that the old man in front of him came here to get drunk. Chicken bones spit all over the floor, and the two of them were not interested in the rest of the dishes on the table. The pork bones lay quietly in a plastic bowl, emitting a foul smell.
Wang Defa: "Old man, we have been drinking for so long, and today we saw you drunk like this, what's the matter, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Ge Xuan stared at the dishes on the table with his eyes, and said to Wang Defa: "Brother Wang, I've been thinking about it lately, what do you say this person is?" The more I live to my age, the more I like to ask myself this question, what do people have to leave behind in their lives? What can be left behind? What can be left behind? ”
Wang Defa shook the chopsticks in his hand, he was already full, but he still didn't want to put down the chopsticks in his hand, he hadn't drunk so happily for a long time, and when he escaped the unpleasantness of his stomach at the moment, he would have to drink some more later. Listening to Ge Xuan's nonsense, Wang Defa's thoughts also began to diverge, and he began to talk to Ge Xuan: "Hey! Isn't that what people are like, birth, old age, sickness and death have all suffered once, fed up with the suffering of the world, and enjoyed a few days of leisure, leaving behind the happy and unhappy, hehe... If you don't leave it behind, you can't do it! Geezer! You all have a lifespan, you, don't keep thinking about those bad things. ”
Ge Xuan smiled with a red smile on his face: "Hmph, no, what you said is not right, you still have to have some pursuits, even if the world thinks stupid, but after all, you still have to have some pursuits, otherwise wouldn't you come to this world for nothing?" ”
Seeing that Ge Xuan closed his eyes and didn't speak, Ge Xuan said to himself: "Come on, it's been fifty years in a trance!" Since the old man went to school, he has been looking through the scriptures written by all dynasties, and he has worshiped all the strange people and strange things on the rivers and lakes, and all he is seeking is a way to prolong life and strengthen his body, at that time, how did I know that this world would become like this, at that time... I work in the agency, I feel bored and practice ripple gong casually, a master taught me, said that it was transmitted from Greece to Middle-earth, at first I was worried that it was ***, but after practicing for a few months, I really felt a sense of qi.
You know, when I experienced the power of the ripples, how crazy it looked like, at that time, I could go three days without sleep or food! You can also eat a pound of rice at a time, and then do nothing, just feel the ripples... In order to make my cultivation more refined, I even abandoned my wife and children and visited famous mountains and rivers, others thought that I was confused in practicing qi, and I didn't say anything, how shallow is their eyes? How do you know the benefits of practicing qi?!
Cultivating immortals to visit the saint... No one wants to take me as a disciple, they all say it's too old! Hehe, I was already middle-aged at that time, can I go back? My wife and children think that I have been too unreliable for so many years, and I always raise my eyebrows and look at you, which is uncomfortable!
My son is older! My wife also looks down on me more and more, and every time I come home from work, I look like I have seen a broom star, hehe, Lao Tzu is in his fifties and still endures this kind of anger? What the hell!
After a few more years like this, I pondered for a while, it is not interesting to live like this, it is better to find this wonderful world! With my wife and children behind my back, I sold my house, my car, and everything I earned! Haha, I don't keep it for them, I use my money, and I find fault with me all day long, saying that mine is not! ”
Hearing this, Ge Xuan took another sip of wine, and drank it extremely reluctantly.
Wang Defa laughed wryly.
"But what you haven't done in your thirties, how easy is it to succeed in your fifties? This time I encountered more obstacles, those famous and decent people turned me away, and the money also made some fake masters on the rivers and lakes who 'came here' almost cheated, and the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and I didn't have the face to go home, so I simply became a beggar and ended up free! "Okay
When Wang Defa heard Ge Xuan's difficulty in studying, he also respected the old man in front of him: "You are free and easy!" ”
"If you don't have to be free, what can you do? I have nothing left! But after all, it is the road of endless people, one day when I was begging on the road, I saw an old Taoist priest going down the mountain to fast, it seems that this Taoist priest is not good, not like there is incense, he is eating steamed buns in front of a store, drinking cold water, and occasionally listening to a few words of scolding of the store.
I've been practicing the Ripple Gong for more than ten years, how can I not tell if that Taoist priest has Taoism? Don't let it go when I see it, I took out all the money I earned from begging, and bought a few good dishes under the face of the owner of the shop, and the boss didn't let me eat in the store, just like the Taoist priest...
The old man unceremoniously ate his meal, turned and left. I was honest, a little angry, I'm such an old person, I don't even say a word, don't say anything, don't eat my food! ”
Wang Defa: "Hahaha...!" ”
"Do you think this is the truth, how can there be a reason that we don't even have a good face after eating, even if we were beggars at the time! I have to say something auspicious to someone when I get food!
No way! I've got to keep up!
I felt his ripples, and he knew that I had kung fu in my body, and I followed him for a long time, and the old man walked faster and faster, and then I couldn't keep up, so I had to stop the guy.
Later, I learned that this person was a hermit, wearing Taoist robes, just for the convenience of eating and drinking, and there were many laymen who knew a little qigong, and they would inevitably have a meal when they met him. As soon as I heard the interest, I hurriedly apprenticed, but he was more interested in me, saying what, now children don't like to learn his kung fu, no one to teach, to him, "Heaven Thief" is about to be lost, he asked me if I want to learn, I said yes, and followed him into the mountain!
After entering the mountain, I realized how difficult it was to practice this "Sky Thief"! If nothing else, just a "Choosing a High Place" is not something that ordinary people can learn, how dangerous is it to shuttle in the mountains? I didn't want to learn after watching the old man jump on the mountain peak twice, but then I thought about it, if I want to meet a good teacher in my life, maybe I only have this opportunity in front of me, and then I stubbornly stayed.
He dares to teach, and I dare to practice!
There is no time in the mountains! Until the old man died, he didn't go down the mountain again, and I listened to him teach the skills of "Heaven Thief" in a daze, while looking at the book of "Heaven Thief".
When he died, I inherited his little broken grass hut on the mountain, and I couldn't live there.
The old man's house is an illegal building, plus or minus (strategic typo) is not allowed to live, I thought, anyway, the ability has been learned, and there is time to practice, and it is the same everywhere. Mountain!
Begging along the street and returning to his hometown, he didn't know anyone in his hometown, he didn't know anyone, the high-rise buildings were scary, his wife was probably dead, and he didn't know what to say when he saw his son, so he had to beg along the street in his hometown... At that time, I was thinking, what do you say people are seeking in this life? When I first learned qigong, it was just to prolong my life and live a few more days, but if I practiced it for thirty or forty years, could I still live for thirty or forty years? Ha ha! That's when I realized what a dog thief the old man who taught me how good he was! In order to pass on this craft, he did not hesitate to deceive me for more than 20 years of youth! ”
Ge Xuankou told the story of his search for qigong methods, and Wang Defa was stunned when he heard it, this old man Ge looked oily, but he didn't expect his life to be more exciting than the story... Well... Sadness is a little bit more urgent...
"Later, I returned to work in the agency, but I didn't expect that this "Heaven Thief" was still one of the best martial arts cheats in the rivers and lakes, and I also naturally got a good position after practicing this cheats, although it was with some aliens who knew how to ripple, and dealt with some trivial things on weekdays... It's annoying to look at your sideburns, so I'm just going to do something and explain the rest of my time in this organ!
That's when I thought..."
