The night was getting darker, and the two who met for the first time talked for a whole night, Xia Fanxing's interest became higher and higher, but Qin Blind said that he was a little unsure whether what he said was right or not.

“... That's all I can say..."

When Xia Fanxing heard this, he hurriedly stood up and thanked him. This night's conversation gave him a new awareness of the "meaning" in martial arts. Now it seems that my awareness in this regard is very insufficient, or even missing.

The most important insight is a sentence said by the blind man Qin - "A palm and a fist have life; ”

“... I want to know who is enshrined on this altar? Have you ever heard of the biennial Tang Martial Arts Meeting in the west of Chang'an City?" "It was late at night, but Qin Blind Man's spirit was exceptionally good, and his interest in talking was also very high. And Xia Fanxing, as a cultivator, naturally didn't feel tired. Somehow, he talked about the spiritual platform where the blind man was burning incense and worshiping when he first entered the door.

"I've heard of it, and this year's winter solstice will also be held. Xia Fanxing told Qin Blind about his knowledge of the martial arts, and of course mentioned the three disabled rangers who won the first place in the first few years.

"Well, one with a broken arm, one deaf and dumb, and one without a palm, and I'm blind, and I'm a ranger. You can tell with your ass that they have a lot to do with Lao Tzu. Speaking of this, Qin's blind man's expression was a little gloomy. He pointed to the image enshrined on the altar - a tiger with its front paws lost. sighed.

The door was slammed open. Huang Gui, the white and fat boy, was carrying a lantern, his face seemed to be frightened, he was out of breath, and he said a little inarticulately: "Qin Daxia! Brother Zhang, he, he was beaten!

He saw Xia Fanxing sitting on the bed, and his expression became surprised. Blind Qin was originally interrupted and a little unhappy, but when he heard this, he immediately became serious and asked, "Who was beaten in the store?"

Huang Gui immediately became anxious: "No, no! In the evening, a few of them went out to eat, and on the way back from eating, Brother Li and Brother Zhang went to pee in the alley. The others waited for a long time and didn't wait for Lao Zhang, and when they looked at him, they were knocked unconscious there!

The little fat man cried with a sad face, "Hero, you asked me to have a heart for the surname Li before, but I didn't believe it." He's really going to change the jewels and run away!"

After speaking, he looked at the dark alley behind him with palpitations, "And your alley... But it scared my soul!"

When the blind man heard this, he suddenly asked eagerly, "How is it, didn't you step on the piece of bird in the middle?"

"Almost! How the hell this place feels darker than any other place... The lantern is on, and I will be dizzy! Bodhisattva bless, if I step on it, my life will be gone!"

Qin Blind turned his head and said to Xia Fanxing solemnly: "What about you? Damn, why did Lao Tzu forget to tell you! Tell me, did you step on a piece of bird when you entered the alley?"

Xia Fanxing looked dazed, "No, what's going on?"

"That's good, that's good!" Qin Blind breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "It's complicated to explain, Lao Tzu will go to that Li Wang Bastard's house now to find him out! If he can get out of Andingfang, I will fucking have his surname from now on!"

"Hero, I'll go with you too!That bastard doesn't know how much money he has cheated of rich people recently, and he almost ate my one hundred and twenty taels of silver for nothing, let's go and kill him together!" Xia Fanxing also burst into foul language casually like Qin's blind man, anyway, everyone didn't mind, but felt more free.

"Nonsense, of course you go with me! Although you and I meet for the first time, but you don't go with me for this kind of good thing, what did Fairy Hua ask you to come to me for?"

Xia Fanxing sneered, "Yes, yes, I also happened to observe the folk atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"What about you? Forget it, don't go, you kid, you will take it with you. Qin Blind said to Huang Gui, but he said no again and again - all the people around here are deserted, this house is like a ghost house, how dare you live there. I don't dare to go out alone, if I accidentally step on that piece of bird, the consequences are really unimaginable!

"Then you two must follow me when you two go out. Today's yin stars are infested, and now it is the time when a hundred ghosts travel at night. If you don't step on that evil star, it's over! When you get out of the alley, Huang Gui, you know where that bastard's family lives, right? You go first to find out, it's better to trick out. I want to enter the door and arrest people in the province, and my reputation is not good. ”

------

"Boss, the horse is ready!" Late at night, there were no pedestrians on Willow Leaf Lane. At the empty entrance of the Jade Zhai, there were two young men standing who were already waiting for Qin Blind. One of the short lads led a strong horse, with an angry look on his face, and said.

"Stinky boy, don't call me that!" Qin Blind stepped forward and stretched out his hand to give him a chestnut storm. But the expression is also very relaxed.

"Okay, okay, boss, Lao Zhang has been sent to the medical hall in the opposite lane. This surnamed Li doesn't know what kind of dog madness. We went to his house just now, and he's still inside, so he won't open the door!"

"This bastard, don't you hurry up and run for your life?" Xia Fanxing scolded suspiciously, and several people around him gave strange looks. Hearing the subtle change in the voices around him, the blind man Qin opened his mouth to explain Xia Fanxing's identity and said, "Eh, what do you see." This guy, named Xia Fanxing, is from the sect, and he came to experience secular life with me for two months. Let's go!"

“... Xia Dao Chang?" "Xia Dao Chang is good!"

Can I still be a Taoist chief?" Xia Fanxing thought happily and casually coped with two sentences.

"Eh, you come and ride a horse and go over with Huang Gui, right? Qin Blind looked up at the moon and said.

"Huh?" Xia Fanxing was a little dumbfounded, riding a horse, he really hadn't learned it.

"No, you sect disciples, you can't even ride a horse?" Qin Blind was a little surprised, but then said: "Also, you either fly in the sky, or run faster than a horse." ”

"Then Qin Daxia, you take him on horseback, I'll sneak around and make some magic tricks keep up. ”

Qin Blind nodded, and then asked the two shop guys, "How is the income of the past half a month, and how much has you earned?"

The short man stepped forward and said, "Some time ago, there was a rich family on the side of East Lane who married his daughter and ordered a full ten taels of gold jewelry as a dowry. The others don't make much, and if they make a net profit, it is estimated that it will be more than a hundred taels of silver. ”

The three of Qin Blind all had heavy faces after hearing this--this guy had lost his face to someone else's house!' "Got it, you guys should stay in the hotel at night, we should be able to come back soon." ”

......

Xia Fanxing, who sneaked in the night without making a sound along the way, was made to cry and laugh by the soft muttering of the little fat man on the horse.

The child is very curious, and after the first face, this guy seems to be a little talkative.

"Big brother, don't the people in your sect need to eat?"

"Big brother, your cultivation is so high, can you directly find out the bastard surnamed Li?"

"Big Brother Big Brother ......"

Like this, Xia Fanxing responded helplessly. The blind man Qin who was riding on the horse didn't say a word, and when he approached the location, he said: "Huang Gui, this kid dares to live here? With whom? It's so close to my ghost alley?"

Blind Qin recalled in his mind the face of the young man surnamed Li, a very lively person.

Only then did Xia Fanxing notice that the location of the three of them was actually the other end of the alley where the blind man Qin lived. The "Ghost Alley" runs east-west, while the alley where the young man surnamed Li lives runs north-south.

"I don't know, but I heard a few of them say that he is not a native of Chang'an, and there seems to be a good one. ”

"Go in and find out. Qin Blind flew off the horse, hugged Huang Gui down by the way, and slapped his buttocks.

The night was dark, and there was only a faint light of lantern fires around. The door of the young man surnamed Li looks very magnificent, and there are couplets pasted on both sides. After Huang Gui listened to Qin's blind man's words, he turned his head to Xia Fanxing and said, "Dao Chief, can you add some charms or something to me?" I'm afraid that guy will cut me with a knife!"

Xia Fanxing thought about it and felt that it was too, and a talisman floated from his waist to his palm with a snap of his fingers. Xia Fanxing chanted a mantra softly, and a faint fire appeared between his fingers to burn it all, making Huang Gui stunned. Xia Fanxing's palm was collected again, and the ashes after burning were collected by him. "After eating it, you can block the sword several times. But remember, if there's an argument, just run away. Don't fight back, let alone hurt him, this is the rule of our cultivators. ”

After the little fat man ate the lump of talisman ash with a bitter face, he neatly climbed up the low wall outside the door of the young man surnamed Li and got in.

"What kind of rule is this?" said the blind man Qin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly.

"Don't you know, if a cultivator can hurt and kill people at will, wouldn't this world be chaotic?" Xia Fanxing responded.

"Hehe, are you talking about the punishment of the five decays of the Heavenly Dao?After the spiritual qi comes out of the body, if you see the blood of mortals, it will cause a backlash and attract the punishment of the Heavenly Dao?"

"What's the matter? If it weren't for this rule, how could it be Emperor Xuanzong sitting on the Jinluan Palace. Moreover, the whole world will devote itself to cultivation, the survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, and the ethics of the whole world will collapse. Xia Fanxing remembered these words, and his master told him when he was a child.

"That's good. Qin Blind rubbed his hands, and when he saw that Huang Gui had been in for a while, he put his ear to the door and listened carefully to the movement inside. After a while, he raised his head and continued: "However, you are restrained everywhere, and there is a Dao method, but it can only be used within the sect. This happiness and enmity in the whole world cannot be fought or killed, this is definitely not the way of chivalry. ”

"You can also do some ordinary kung fu outside. The foundation of a monk's refining of qi and refining of gods is to refine the body, and the master has the power to open mountains and break rivers with one fist and one palm. ”

"No, it's different. The blind man waved his hand, "My heart is full of fear, and I am afraid of the punishment of the five decays of the Heavenly Dao." The feeling of not being able to do something, the feeling of not being able to do something with all your might, is not chivalrous. No matter how much you think you do righteous deeds, you can't achieve the chivalrous way in your heart. ”

Xia Fanxing pondered for a moment, a little confused. Blind Qin smiled again and said, "Don't worry about this. It's just what I think of as chivalry. As I said before, the purpose of doing chivalry and righteousness is to cultivate our inner ways. What you and I think in our hearts will be different, so why should we be right or wrong, and why should we worry about it. Perhaps, I'm still superficial. ”

Xia Fanxing was still a little confused by what Qin Blind had just said, and he felt that the rules and principles he had believed for a long time seemed to have undergone a subtle change. Although he still didn't understand, he said, "Taught!"

Qin Blind said: "Abandon obsession, it's what your sect often says, right? Why bother with this, some things you can't figure out, you will understand slowly." ”

"yes. However, obsession and attachment are two different things, and Master said that in life, there are some issues that must be figured out. However, there is no need to rush too much. Xia Fanxing smiled and said.

Suddenly, there was a sound from inside the gate, like the sound of something being dragged to the ground and bumping, and then the door was opened by the panting Huang Gui. The little fat man was dragging a heavy sack in his hand, and when he saw the two of them, he gasped and said with a smile:

"Boss, Dao Chief, that kid ran away and couldn't find anyone... However, he left all the things he had taken away in the past half a month, all of which were in this sack, which was not different from what was sold in the account book. Now that everything has been recovered, it's not a trip in vain! ”

Qin Blind stepped in, snatched the sack, and scolded: "What do you know? You can see whether the pearl is true or false? That kid just ran away like this, what is the picture? Let Lao Tzu see if the bag is true or false first!"
