Chapter 4: It's hard to settle down when there is a shadow in the heart

Qin Zhiyong doesn't look like a person who practices martial arts, and Master Qian didn't take him seriously. When I saw a stranger, Mr. Qian just asked casually.

Mr. Qian said to Jin Zhuyu, "I brought you some supplies. Enough for the inn for a month. Let your guys come in like this. ”

Qin Zhiyong wondered in his heart before, where did the materials in the inn come from? Now finally know. It turned out that it was provided by this Mr. Qian, so it makes sense.

There is no channel to restock. If you want to open a store in the desert Gobi Desert, it is simply impossible. Even if there is a water source around.

Jin Zhuyu said happily: "Shopkeeper, don't meet you, you go out quickly and bring the goods in." ”

Qin Zhiyong followed the shopkeeper and Diao Buyu out of the inn and went to move things.

After Master Qian left, Qin Zhiyong relaxed.

Qin Zhiyong said secretly: "My heart is not right enough. If there is resentment in the heart, it cannot be right; There is fear, and there is no right; There is a good time, and it is not right; If there is a trouble, it cannot be corrected. Mr. Qian can take his life at any time, and in such a situation, it is impossible to remain neither humble nor arrogant. ”

Master Qian not only has rights, but also a master of martial arts, Qin Zhiyong wants to be calm in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, but he is far from being able to do it now.

Qin Zhiyong's psychological quality is not enough.

In the following days, Qin Zhiyong practiced martial arts even harder.

But his heart could not be settled.

When I stand and meditate, my mind is irritable.

When it comes to boxing, it's still the same.

All kinds of strange thoughts kept popping up in his mind, and they were not under Qin Zhiyong's control at all.

Qin Zhiyong seems to be focused on the surface, but in fact, he has a lot of distractions in his heart.

He's been restrained.

The more you stand still and hold your body, the more distracting thoughts you have. The body and mind cannot be harmonious, and only by experiencing it can we know the pain in it.

Night.

Qin Zhiyong was lying on the bed, looking at the full moon outside the window.

"The moon is so round and bright tonight." Qin Zhiyong whispered, "I don't know what happened to my parents?" Fortunately, there is an elder brother at home, even if he is not by their side, he will have an elder brother to support them in the future. ”

Sleeping and eating are the two most important things in life.

If you do these two things well, you will have no disease and no disaster, and it will be easy to live to be 100 years old. Qin Zhiyong closed his eyes and planned to sleep.

Tomorrow morning, I have to get up early to read, practice, and work.

"Qin Zhiyong, come to the roof to drink with the old lady." The voice of the proprietress sounded in Qin Zhiyong's ears.

Qin Zhiyong was startled, the little sleepiness that had just come was suddenly taken away, and his thinking became clear.

Walking out of the guest room and following the ladder to the roof, Qin Zhiyong saw Jin Jiyu sitting alone on the roof, with a wine jar and wine bowl next to him, as well as a large plate of meat.

Qin Zhiyong sat beside her.

Jin Jiyu said: "Today is the fifteenth, the night is so good, wouldn't it be a pity to go to bed early?" Come, drink with me. ”

Jin inlaid jade poured a bowl of wine for Qin Zhiyong.

It turns out that today is fifteen.

No wonder the moon is so round and so bright.

Qin Zhiyong took the wine bowl and said, "Boss, I don't drink." ”

Jin Jianyu smiled: "If you don't drink, what kind of man is you?" The shopkeeper and Diao don't meet them, but they are all drunkards, and they don't have fun without drinking. Come, let's eat and talk. ”

Qin Zhiyong took a sip of wine, his brows furrowed slightly, the taste of the wine was indeed not good, it was too spicy.

Jin Zhuyu grabbed a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth: "Eat meat." How can you just drink wine and not eat meat? ”

As long as he saw meat, Qin Zhiyong thought of human flesh. Even when he was helping Diao not meet the meat cut, he couldn't help but think of the scene of the murder of gold and jade in his mind.

Since arriving at the Dragon Gate Inn, Qin Zhiyong has never eaten meat.

Meat has become Qin Zhiyong's psychological shadow. Even if he knew that it was not human flesh on the plate.

Jin Jianyu guessed Qin Zhiyong's thoughts and said, "I practiced martial arts at the age of seven, and I practiced internal strength at the age of thirteen. I killed my first person at the age of sixteen, and I was vomiting for several days, just like you, and I was sick to my stomach at the sight of meat. Later, more people were killed, and I slowly got used to it. Now let me go to the mass grave and sleep, I can sleep soundly. No one is born with a penchant for killing. It's all forced by this damn world. When you meet a villain, you can only kill the killer, otherwise the person who dies will be my gold and jade. If you want to survive in the rivers and lakes, you must be ruthless and not tolerate any mercy. Even if it's your best friend, be careful. ”

For the sake of interests, for women, for power, friends and relatives stabbing each other in the back, Jin Jianyu has encountered a lot. It is almost impossible for her to trust someone unconditionally.

Qin Zhiyong read the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, and his mentality changed somewhat.

"No matter what kind of world we live in, we should have hope in our hearts," he said. The wicked are in charge, which makes people angry, but I believe that there must be more good people than bad people in the world. If we live in sorrow and fear all our lives, and we are constantly worried that someone will murder us, then life is worse than death, and it is too painful. ”

Listening to Qin Zhiyong's words, Jin Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and even laughed out of tears.

But Qin Zhiyong didn't think his words were funny at all. Because he was telling the truth.

Jin Jianyu patted Qin Zhiyong's shoulder: "My Qin Gongzi, you are really a person who reads sage books." You still go to the imperial examination, become a champion, marry a beautiful little lady, and live a good life. Jianghu martial arts, not for you. If you have such thoughts, if you go to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that you will be in the wilderness. ”

I don't agree with Qin Zhiyong's idea, but Jin Jiyu likes people like Qin Zhiyong very much.

Qin Zhiyong has no evil thoughts in his heart, and he is a hundred times stronger than those Jianghu people who draw their swords for a little profit.

The high-rollers in the rivers and lakes did not agree with each other, drew their swords and faced each other, and blood spattered five steps. It seems to be bold and bloody, but in fact it is just a reckless murderous thug.

As long as he is a normal person, he is willing to get along with Qin Zhiyong. Instead of going to be friends with those murderous thugs.

Jin Zhuyu grabbed a piece of meat again and put it in his mouth.

She said, "Eat meat." Are you really planning to go meat-free and vegetarian for the rest of your life? ”

Qin Zhiyong took a deep breath and said, "Okay." I eat. ”

No chopsticks. Qin Zhiyong learned gold inlaid jade and grabbed the meat directly with his hands. Putting a piece of meat into his mouth, Qin Zhiyong held his breath and chewed.

It's hard to get started. There is a first time for everything.

As long as you overcome the psychological barrier, eating meat is not a problem.

A hint of cunning flashed in Jin Zhuyu's eyes, and he said, "How does human flesh taste?" Isn't it much better than mutton? ”

As soon as Qin Zhiyong swallowed the meat, his face turned red, and he almost vomited it again.

"It tastes good."

Qin Zhiyong gritted his teeth and said with a glare.

Jin Jianyu saw Qin Zhiyong's deflated appearance, and laughed: "Of course it tastes good." Diao Buyu's cooking skills are the best in our inn. Rest assured, it's not human flesh. Although I open a black shop, I can't do it if I really want to eat human flesh myself. ”

Qin Zhiyong grabbed a few more pieces of meat and put them in his mouth.

Jin Jiyu nodded and said, "That's right, the meat still has to be eaten." You're practicing boxing, you're only a vegetarian, and your body won't be able to hold it. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Boss, I have a question I want to ask. ”

"You say."

Qin Zhiyong asked, "When you practiced internal strength and meditated, how did you settle down?" When I was lying in bed, or standing on a horse, whenever my body was not moving, distracting thoughts kept popping up in my head. The heart is not settled at all. If the mind is uncertain, you will not be able to achieve the unity of body and mind, and the practice of boxing will have little effect. ”

Jin Jiyu glanced at Qin Zhiyong in surprise and said, "You are worthy of being a scholar." With knowledge, it's different. You don't have a master to teach martial arts, and you can understand the principle of the unity of body and mind by relying on boxing and basic internal strength. It's not easy. A person like you, in the middle of the rivers and lakes, is a martial arts wizard with amazing understanding. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Qin Zhiyong knew what it was a pity for Jin Mosa, he just thought that he was too old to have any achievements in martial arts in the future. But Qin Zhiyong didn't complain, no pity. He believed that as long as his mind could reach a state of concentration and achieve the unity of body and mind, the situation would definitely improve.

Besides, it's come to this, what's the use of complaining, alas? It's better to work harder, cultivate one's self and mind, and explore knowledge.

Jin Jiyu continued, "I have never entered a state of concentration. I believe that there are few people in the rivers and lakes who can really settle down. Want to settle ...... Even those high-ranking monks and Confucians, I'm afraid they can't do it. We ordinary people, let alone men. ”

Qin Zhiyong nodded and agreed with the words of the gold inlaid jade.

The heart of the ape.

The mind is an angry ape, and a wild horse that has escaped.

The ancient man-made words and groups of words all have deep meanings. Careful experience, broad and profound.

It is not easy to subdue his heart and settle his heart.

On the issue of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, gold inlaid jade can't help Qin Zhiyong, so he can only rely on himself.

After chatting with Jin Zhuyu for more than an hour, I finished eating the meat on the plate and drank the last bit of wine in the bowl.

Qin Zhiyong stood up and said, "Boss, it's late at night. I should go back to my room and rest. ”

Jin Zhuyu said, "Go ahead." Talking to you, my heart is much happier. Qin Zhiyong, thank you. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Boss lady...... Later...... Can you stop killing people? Even if there is no sanction from the laws of the imperial court, if you kill too many people, you will become a devil sooner or later. ”

Jin Jiyu raised his head, stared at Qin Zhiyong's eyes, and said, "If no one wants to murder me, of course the old lady will not take the initiative to kill people." ”

Qin Zhiyong nodded, turned around and went down to the roof.

After washing, just lying down on the bed, Qin Zhiyong heard the singing of gold and jade.

In the middle of the night, Jin Jiyu sang alone on the roof. Apparently she is also a person with a story.
