Chapter 42, chivalrous
The strange man tapped him on the shoulder, and turned back to go out.
Unexpectedly, the white fat boy had sharp eyes, and the man seemed to be often in the vicinity, so the boy seemed to see his identity. He covered his mouth in surprise and muttered, "Hero?
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and he said in a cold tone: "Do business well, with so many words, do you want to be beaten to death by your senior brothers?"
"Yes, yes, hero... "The boy watched the strangely dressed man walk out of the store, and although he hadn't bought anything, the smile on the child's face was like picking up a bag of gold ingots.
Xia Fanxing is also a well-behaved person. After seeing all the things, he almost understood in his heart that this person should be the blind ranger he was looking for. And what this chivalrous man said sounded plain at first glance, but when I thought about it carefully, it was really an enlightenment. The "meaning" and "form" in this martial arts have always been something he doesn't understand when he cultivates the Heart Fist method. The Heart Fist Method has never been heavy on the shape of the fist but on the fist intent, and in the past, he was often confined to the fist shape and neglected the fist intent in the process of cultivation, so it has been difficult to improve the cultivation of the fist technique recently. And what this chivalrous man said was simply answering his martial arts questions!
"Here is one hundred and twenty taels of silver, you don't have to look for it. Xia Fanxing threw a silver bag on the counter, hurriedly put two pairs of exquisite bracelets into the wooden box on the counter, stuffed them into the storage bag on his waist, turned his head and ran out quickly.
The boy in the Jade Zhai smiled even more, and hurriedly greeted: "Eh, thank you, Daoye!
"Seniors, seniors, please stay!" Xia Fanxing's heart moved, a piece of paper and an envelope, on which a bird with a large beak and a small head was drawn with a red pen. Quickly keep up with the middle-aged man who has not gone far, that is, the blind ranger introduced by Hua Rongyu. Transmission in the past.
When the ranger received his message, his face became a little unkind. The mortal body couldn't transmit the sound back, so he stopped and waited for Xia Fanxing to follow him.
After Xia Fanxing followed, he just wanted to hand over the address and envelope in his hand, but the blind ranger waved his hand. His mouth didn't move, but his voice came quietly: "It's Lao Tzu! Don't follow me now, in half an hour, come and find it yourself!"
He thought for a moment and stretched out a finger, "Bring back the jug of wine again!"
Xia Fanxing thought with some surprise, nodded, and watched the ranger walk into the deserted alley.
The alley is next to the bustling Willow Leaf Alley, but it presents a completely different depression atmosphere. The entire alley is illuminated by lanterns hanging on both sides of the bustling side streets. And when you turn into that alley, the day has been completely swallowed up by the night, and it is even darker inside, and pedestrians have consciously or unconsciously avoided it. But the blind ranger walked in quickly, without the slightest concern.
Strangely, the pedestrians around saw the strangely dressed man walking into the alley, as if they were accustomed to it, and were not surprised. It didn't seem like Xia Fanxing's reaction when he walked out of it.
When Xia Fanxing approached the strange alley where he couldn't see his fingers, he also carried a pot of freshly burned apricot blossom wine in his hand. Maybe it's an illusion, Xia Fanxing felt that this alley was a little darker, and his five senses were completely open, and he almost tripped over a stone. When it's dark, it's actually better for the blind to walk.
When he finally touched the ranger's residence in the depths of the alley, the faint light shining from the stone house actually made Xia Fanxing feel very dazzling, as if he had been in the dark for a day.
This stone house is really shabby, Xia Fanxing thought, I didn't pay attention in the afternoon, there is not even a roof here!
He was about to knock on the door, but saw a puff of smoke wafting from the house, and the smell was particularly pungent. Xia Fanxing's heart sank, it couldn't be a fire, right?
"Come in. The door is not locked, and Lao Tzu is not locked! Don't stand outside, it will upset me!"
After Xia Fanxing pushed the door in, he breathed a sigh of relief - it turned out that the blind ranger was inside, burning incense.
When I entered the room, it was refreshing and not dirty. Of course, this is largely due to the fact that there is not much furniture and a roof missing. By this time, the blind ranger had taken off his huge turban, his face was very ordinary, his eyes were still covered by a layer of cloth, and there was a long scar on his forehead. In the small space, the bed is directly opposite a spiritual platform.
The Blind Ranger was kneeling in front of the altar, which was enshrined in a painting, but instead of a dead man, a tiger with its front paws gone, making a leaping gesture. The spiritual platform was covered with talismans, and Xia Fanxing knew at a glance that there was no aura in it, and it could not play the role of suppressing evil spirits at all. The blind ranger held a bouquet of incense in his hand and worshiped it seriously several times. Then he knelt there quietly for a long time before inserting the incense on the altar, getting up and walking towards Xia Fanxing, who was waiting in the door.
"Senior, junior is the Yin Sha Sect Huarong Yu Immortal Master..."
"Yes, yes. Your name is Xia Fanxing, and you are a disciple of the Yungui Tu Feng Sect, and the realm is full of condensation. The Slashing Spear is your uncle, your master, and the Dao name is Xinheng, right? I only have my surname, but I don't remember my name. The mongrel outside, with a fucking smelly mouth, is called Lao Tzu Qin Blind! Hmph, think about how to call it!"
This guy is kind of funny. Xia Fanxing thought with a smile, it seems that he doesn't plan to tell me his full name. However, although the person in front of him was a mortal and had no Dao foundation, he did not have the arrogance of a cultivator at all, but instead tried to lower his posture as much as possible. But the ranger surnamed Qin doesn't seem to be a tricky and difficult person to talk to, so Xia Fanxing intends to communicate with a posture that is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Senior Qin, Senior Qin?" he asked tentatively.
"Seniors are exempt, exempt! You cultivators, even juniors like you, will definitely live longer than Lao Tzu in the future, and when you mention me as a dead man a hundred years later, you will still be called a senior?" Qin Blind said with a smile on his face that had lost his eyes.
"Then Qin Daxia is fine. What you said in that jade shop really made me feel enlightened!" Xia Fanxing said sincerely.
The blind man Qin stretched out his hand and patted his waist, and said, "Bought it?"
"What the hero said is very true, of course I choose to believe you. Xia Fanxing slapped a sycophant.
"Fake!" Qin Blind sat on the stool next to the bed, laughed, and said.
“... What?" Xia Fanxing was dumbfounded, dare to love this old blind man who was playing with him just now?
"Damn, entrust the business to Lao Tzu for protection, the fucking bastard he hired is a bastard! Ruined the reputation of Jade Zhai, look at how you are messing around in Liuye Lane!" Qin Blind suddenly scolded, although he couldn't see it with his eyes, he understood that Xia Fanxing must be confused now. Then he explained to him.
It turned out that the owner of this Jade Zhai had gone to Luoyang with his family to run business in the past few months. And this boss has a past with Qin Blind, the relationship is very good, since he moved here to live, he spent money to ask him to protect the business of Jade Zhai, with Qin Blind in the Andingfang area, three or four years are safe, Liu Ye Lane residents are unconditionally trust the quality of Jade Zhai Zhuyu.
It's rare for this boss to leave the shop for so long. A guy in the store was moved by this. Anyway, the people in Liuye Lane and even a few surrounding alleys have a lot of trust in Jade Zhai, and the boss can't control himself when he is not there, so he will be fake and real. The real Jewel was stolen into his own pocket, and the fake Jewel was put on the counter to sell.
More than half a month ago, when Qin Blind went to Jade Zhai to slip around, he picked up a string of necklaces, and knew in his heart that this was a fake mixed with alloys, at most a layer of silver. I kept an eye on it, and a few days later I found the person who had transferred the real necklace. But he remembered that this family was poor, so he never exposed him and gave him a chance to stop himself. But the fakes bought by several wealthy people in Willow Leaf Lane these days can't be deceived in vain. Qin Blind secretly went to their house to steal the fake goods back, and then took the real goods hidden by that guy, and sold them all before they were resold to a nest.
"Maybe it's this hand that makes that dog mongrel's heart unbalanced! The things that I worked so hard to deceive were stolen by Lao Tzu, so it's better to continue to deceive! Dog mongrel, I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!"
Xia Fanxing immediately asked: "This guy, is it the white fat kid just now? No, a child actually did such a thing!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense and frame a good person, when did Lao Tzu say it was him?" Qin said blindly, "That kid is quite pitiful, you see that he was born white and fat, right, like the son and brother of a rich family in this area." In fact, at a young age, there were many accidents in the family, and it was only after he fell to this point. When I met him half a year ago, I was amazed to see that he had been living on the streets for a month, but he had not lost a penny of his flesh, so I asked the owner of the Jade Zhai to be an apprentice for him to eat. ”
"Although this kid lives on the streets and can't eat enough, I know very well in my heart that he can't do this kind of thing in his life!" Qin Blind said confidently, "Damn, tomorrow Lao Tzu will drive that mongrel out of Andingfang, give him a chance, don't know how to stop, look for death!"
Xia Fanxing was filled with righteous indignation for a while, and suddenly said with some anger: "Hero, since you know that it is a fake, why did you tell me that it is true? One hundred and twenty taels of silver!"
"Eh, don't get excited. We are chivalrous and righteous people, and we pay attention to a happy grudge, right? After listening to what I said just now, did you feel a burst of righteous indignation in your heart? Do you feel like you want to beat that bastard to death? You even want to rush to the store with a knife immediately! This is what it feels like to be a ranger. Since Hua Xianzi asked you to come to me, you must follow Lao Tzu to go to the world with a sword! Having this feeling is the first step of a hero. If you don't lose, you don't lose. ”
"You..."Xia Fanxing laughed angrily, I don't know what to say, what kind of strange theory is this!
"Okay, let's have a laugh. Usually I'm alone at home, but finally a young man came to talk to me with me, and I talked a little too much..."
"Let you buy it, in fact, it is to leave a proof, didn't I send back the pearl and jade that he transferred before? How can a man who is a chivalrous man cling to things outside his body, such as money?"
Xia Fanxing hugged his fists, thinking that it made some sense to say this, and when he arrived here, he should also have a bit of chivalrous demeanor. Then he said: "What the hero said is, see that the child is pitiful, and the silver will be given to him." ”
"After all, it's from the sect, I don't know if it's hard to make money, haha! It doesn't have to be like this, I found him an apprentice job, which is already a great help." Chivalry walks in the world, and there must be a degree of doing good deeds. Giving him a bowl of rice to beg for food, and serving him rice, is not our chivalrous demeanor! This is probably just the coy posture of a hypocritical emperor and general!" Qin Blind shook his head and said.
"According to what the hero said, if what the Son of Heaven on the Jinluan Palace really wants to do is to purify all sentient beings and create a peaceful and prosperous world, then what the knight really wants to do is to improve his cultivation and character by practicing chivalry and righteousness?" Xia Fanxing thought for a moment, and his words were astonishing.
If Qin's blind eyes were still there, he must be staring at Xia Fanxing tightly. "Interesting, the person called by Hua Xianzi is really interesting! I don't care what the 'Tao' in the hearts of other so-called chivalrous people is, for me, as you said, it is more to improve my own cultivation and character, rather than blindly robbing the rich and helping the poor and helping others. No matter what others think, anyway, this is the chivalrous way of my blind Qin!"
"Xia Fanxing, you have a very good appetite for me!" said the blind Qin laugh.
"Haha, the hero has won the prize!"
"Okay, okay, today I thought you were a fool at first, but I didn't expect that now it seems that you kid has such a little understanding!"
"Huh? Did you think I was stupid when I was in the store? Why?"
"Sit, just sit on the bed. Qin Blind waved his hand, Xia Fanxing sat on the bed, the bed board was extremely hard.
"Lao Tzu is in high spirits tonight, and some things are going to be said later, so I'll say a few more words to you now. ”
"I'm asking you now, that bracelet is indeed fake, but do you believe it I don't need a knife carving, or palm carving, just like I said, a trace of palm intent, you can know if this palm will leave traces on the bracelet, so as to judge the authenticity?"
Xia Fanxing replied without hesitation: "Of course, the explanation that the hero just made in the Jade Zhai is very correct, so I am convinced of it!"
"Senior Slashing Spear, it's your uncle, right? He is a chivalrous man, and he has a trick that can be used superbly, which seems to be the secret technique of your Tu Feng Sect, called the Heart Fist Method, right? Listen to Fairy Hua, you used this trick well, and even used this trick to subdue a chick in the foundation building period? At that time, you only had very little aura in your body. ”
"Let the hero laugh. ”
"I'm a mortal, and I don't dare to say that I have any good opinions about such a superb boxing technique. But... According to Hua Xianzi's description, this boxing method is somewhat similar to a set of palm techniques I practiced, and I pay great attention to the meaning of martial arts, rather than sticking to the shape of martial arts. If you have the awareness and experience in this area, how could you have had a dispute with that little fat man just now? If you really want to identify it, you only need to skillfully use the fist intent of the Heart-Penetrating Fist Method, and you will naturally know whether you will carve traces or not. ”
Got to the point. "Qin Daxia, how do you use your fist intent? This thing is ethereal, and when the younger generation cultivates, it often affects the fist intent due to the fist shape, thus restraining each other, resulting in slow progress. If you can, please give me some advice!"
"Alas, the thing of 'meaning', to be honest, is too difficult to say... Seeing that you and Lao Tzu are a little bit in love, it's okay to reluctantly talk about it. If I don't understand or understand, then I can't help it. There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken. ”
